Ok, so my grandmother fell and broke her hip this weekend, so needless to say I'Ve spent a lot of time at the hospital the last two days. It is sometimes interesting listening to the wisdom and often times craziness of elderly people. one minute she says something so profound and thought worthy that one takes the inevitable late eighties Arsenio hall coined.. HMMMMM....then the next she says something so off the wall all you can do is look around the room at everyone with the same blank stare and eventually chuckle quietly knowing that an outburst of laughter would bring a fury likened to the wrath of God. But this is the only grandparent that I have left, so I embrace it all. The moments of sanity, the slips into the unknown, the love the rage, and all that is in between. for in her I see traces of me, and can understand better who and why I am the way I am. But grandmother is gettng better, she will be alright, at least for now. so for a while longer I will continue to treasure what i have, and only hope that my life can be as fulfilling as the 80 plus yeares she has put on this earth.
