Mom tells me even though Grandma's mind will keep forgetting more and more, she will always be the same wonderful person in her heart.

"Three R-words will help us. We all need to Relax and be thankful for this special time we have to spend with Grandma, Remember all the good things she taught us and Respect her always."

My mother reminds me, "It is very important to laugh with Grandma but never, never at her." I think Mom sounds just like Grandma used to talk.

I stay awake for a long time and decide it's my turn to help take care of Grandma, just like she used to take care of me. I feel very grown-up. It feels good.
