This one is a little different,In the fun factor. My paternal grand mother, nana, is getting up there in age, she just turned 96 years old. I know that women don't like there real age divulged , but shes 96 fracken years old. She has been the head of our family since before I was alve, the martaric , the glue.
She has taught me so much over the years, and I am a better pearson because of her,She is definitely on my fav 5 list.
Being that she is nearing the end of her time here, I have to come connect with her . She is my Nana.
Last night I cooked dinner for her,my dad , mamadar, and my step mom, never mind that I had just spent 21 hrs on the road to get here, and was beat tired . Sandy , my very loved step mom,
has been diagnosed with colon cancer, and is in treatment for it. She just did not have the energy to cook and clean up after wards and asked if I would do it. I was honored to help her.
I give her a lot of crap, but always with a smile and love.
Then there is my dad, the man who taught me how to be a good man, husband, father, and son.
the 2 women in his life who matter most to him are needing him to take care of them, tough role for my dad...
Vacations are a good thing, they are a break from the normal stresses of life, this is a hard time for me, this is not a 'fun' vacation. I will enjoy the time I get to spend with both of these very important women , but I am having a hard time seeing both of them like this.
We take care of ours nana said last nite, damn near at the same time I did....funny how that works.
She is a pretty good grandmother , a great grand ma, and a really great great grandmother, all puns intended.

I'm so very glad you got to take the "vacation" even if it isn't fun. I, too, will make it out there (probably next month, I hope). Our "smommy" as I have taken to calling her lately (or "mama") is a treasured woman and grandma has had a long and great life. I hope to someday be anywhere near the women they are.
