For the fourth year in a row, we brought pizza in for lunch with my grandmother. This year, my sister asked me to see if my aunt wanted to join us, and she did! It's really hard to go see Grandma alone, because she just really doesn't understand what is happening around her, she can't really carry on a conversation, and she doesn't have the TV on so it's either a monologue or awkward silence. I'm sure my aunt appreciated having us all there and not having to make the visit alone. I'm sure it's also really hard on my aunt to see her mother that way. And the fact that my uncle is in failing health is also tough for Aunt Connie as well. It was nice to have the afternoon all together, and my aunt and I had travel time to chat as well. We are all aware that this is almost certainly Grandma's last birthday lunch, but it was a nice afternoon.
