Well, I can't really think of anything good that came out of 2008 (at least for me), so I will leave it like that.
Anyway, first off, thank you all for your wishes :), I hope you all had some great holidays yourself, got the presents you were longing for, ate a lot of good food, spent some time with your family and friends, well, just what you do on Chrismas :).
Unfortunately, my Christmas was not exactly what I was hoping for. Do you remember about my grandma? Bad news: For the last weeks, her condition has rapidly changed for the worse. We all knew it would be difficult to see her decompose, but we just can't keep up with the decline. You can look and see how she's losing it, her memory and abilities. Her character has changed, she is aggressive or foolish like a kid. It's difficult to recognize her anymore, not only her mind is fading, physically she is decomposing as well. There's just nothing left of that woman I've known.
One day she sits there, waiting for her husband (he died more than 10 years ago), or she tries to call her mother (also dead). Another day, she is devastated because she just realized that all these people are dead, and yet another day, you come to visit her, and she tells you she just talked to them :(.
To cut a long story short, she caused a lot of trouble on Christmas. It started on Christmas Eve, when she thought that some boys had come into her house and stolen her purse. Of course, no one stole anything from her, nevertheless, my parents had to look for her purse more than two hours, and it completely ruined that day's schedule. And it culminated in calling us at 3 a.m. on Christmas Day, because she thought she was not at home. My mom and I rushed to her home, though we were not exactly sure she was really there, on the phone she had described another house and named another adress. And it was bitterly cold.
Fortunately, she hadn't left her house. However, she had packed a few bags and was standing outside her house, waiting for us to take her "home". Please, tell me what to do with your grandma in the middle of the night, in the cold, who is convinced she is not at home :(...Nice Christmas :(...
Somehow, I don't think it was the last time for this year I had to deal with something like that, actually I'm convinced she is going to call us this night again. I just visited her, she was already lying in her bed and told me that my baby niece was there. She even had prepared a bed for her. And she was really confused when Julie was not lying in that bed anymore. When I said goodbye, my grandma asked me to take her with me. I tried to explain her that she was already at home, but she just laughed. But tomorrow, I will have to take her home :(
Now, how do I do that?
