This past weekend on my
way home from Thanksgiving, I decided to take a quick stop and see my Grandma
Lasley. My Grandma Lasley is someone I hold most dear in my life. When my
parents went through their divorce my Grandma and Grandpa Lasley were there for
me and my siblings when my dad wasn’t. They never looked down on my mom or
blame her for what happened. They were their only to support us as we went
through this trial.
My Grandpa Lasley passed away from throat cancer my first
semester in college. It was really hard for him to go because at the same time
that he was dying from cancer, my Grandma Lasley was developing Dementia. It
was really hard after he passed away.
When I went and saw my sweet grandmother, she was sitting
on the coach wrapped in a blanket. Because of the Dementia, she didn’t recognize
who I was but in her eyes I could still see that she loved me. As I visited
with here, I told her about my recent engagement. I showed her a picture of
Sophany and I. She really enjoyed the pictures. She never said anything back
but I knew that she cared.
I hadn’t been planning on going to visit grandma. She probably
won’t even remember our little talk. But to be with her has lifted me higher
and helped me to understand how much she means to me and also how much others
in my life mean to me. Thank you Grandma for everything.
