That's sad, Ryan. It must have been tough.

My grandmother is 92 and was operated on of cancer last June and after that she stayed for a while then moved to a temporary home. They sort of kicked her out, and since we can't afford to pay for any and she doesn't qualify for a state one, we have her at home. She's perfectly okay, doctors are amazed at her strength and good health, but she simply refuses to see it. Every single day she makes up a new complaint. She's not happy about anything, not even the sight of her family or her greatgrandchildren. Everything bothers her, and she makes a drama out of any story we tell her. My mother's nerves are stretching too thin, and it's awful.

Reading all these stories, and knowing about my grandmother, make me shiver about old age. Can't see what's the use of living if you can't feel "alive".
