I became my grandmother's care giver when she had a stroke. I think we all have something to learn from our older generation. I love helping them do something that they've been wanting to do yet just couldn't....I moved in with grandma to help her, she could not feed herself the majority of the time and no-one in the family seemed to realize it, but one night I looked up from cooking her supper and she was crying! I was like, grandma, whtats wrong? She said you are real Angel.... sent from heaven... you came to make sure I died in peace.
