WOMM # 33 - My Christmas o.o
Well my Christmas was pretty good ^^

Today I went to pick up my grandmother from her nursing home and then we went out to my cousins for Christmas lunch and dinner. It was good to see my cousins after like 6 years >.<

Well anyways, I was walking around their home and noticed my grandmother sitting down on the couch by herself and she seemed to look sad. I asked her "Grandma, Whats wrong?" and she told me "Im going to die soon I just know it"

I felt this utterly cold chill fall down my back and I had to do something about this.

I grabbed my grandmothers hand and looked at her with a smile. I told her "Grandma, You are still so young and you still have a wonderful long life ahead of you. You need to get up every day and smile, be happy, and enjoy life to its fullest" After that I saw her smile broadly and I felt like I did something to make her Christmas truly special.

I did not want to hear her saying such things on Christmas of ALL days. I did not know why she would say such things but when I got back to her nursing home to see her off for the evening I found out why...

Her care takers seemed to not really care for her, I saw a mouse run out of her clothing closet, And after they got her ready for bed me and my father noticed a bandage on her leg covering what looked like a huge bump and it looked horrible. The care takers said its been like that for a while but I was furious. I told my father after we left, "WE NEED TO GET HER THE HELL OUT OF THERE BEFORE THEY KILL HER!!!"

Soon as the new year comes around im getting her out of there even if I have to pay for it. I hate seeing my grandmother going through such harsh s**t and people not doing their job of taking care of her >.>

Besides all this my Christmas was wonderful. I only wish now that she tries to enjoy her Christmas and take my advice. I love her to death but I would rather her death not come so soon and not from depression, of ALL things >.<

    Wow...youre a really great person. I was about to send you a message to ask you how your Christmas was. Im glad you were able to cheer your grandmother up. My mom is actually a caregiver (everyone loves her and she takes very good care of her clients). I really hope she'll find a better place to live soon. i know...people can die from intense emotions like that. Its sometihing thats not good for us, and has the possibility to shorten our lives. Maybe my mom should be looking after her biggrin .
    Im glad I got to know just a little bit more about you, by reading this...
