"let us stay home together my love and not know as the rain does not know where it came from and the sea that is all around us does not know its beginning"

From "In the Meantime" by W.S. Merwin, from his book Garden Time (Copper Canyon Press, 2016) [The Merwin Conservancy]

[THE STREET WAS FULL OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR THIS STRANGE CAR TO COME TO KENOSHA. AND CHECK AND HEADED FOR THE DOOR, THIS PLACE HAS BECOME A LOCAL LANDMARK. IT'S KIND OF A FAMILY TRADITION. MY GRANDPARENTS USED TO HANG OUT HERE, MY PARENTS HANG OUT HERE, AND NOW I HANG OUT HERE.]

the worst part about not having someone in your life anymore is never getting to hear their laugh again

Elderly dementia, suicidal ideation (not for me), negative venting.

(Please don't respond to this with advice or "it'll be okay," type messages. I just need to get feelings off my chest.)

It's so hard listening to my grandmother talk on and on and be so convinced that my mom was hitting her, punching her, beating her, but will not believe me when I tell her that didn't happen. She talks about wanting to leave, move out, but then no one can get her out of the house, even when other family members come to pick her up. She talks over and over about wanting to die, to jump off a bridge and drown in the river and have it take her away. She has depression, but refuses to take her meds. She makes herself food but rarely eats it. She feeds the dogs human food until they get sick. She threatens to attack one of my sisters every time she comes to the house. She tries sometimes.

I don't have the spoons to help her. I don't have the energy to sit next to her every meal and make sure she eats and doesn't give it to the dogs. I don't have the energy to go through the song and dance every night of getting her to take her antidepressants. She won't even take her allergy meds without a fuss and often hides it. Trying to sit and talk with her always devolves into her talking about how much she hates this person or that person. I don't have it in me. I'm not strong enough.

She told my mom she never loved her.

She refuses to shower or brush her teeth sometimes, but she's so stubborn and proud you can never tell her what to do, only suggest and hope she's in a mood to be swayed that day. She'd never let someone do it for her.

She has nothing. She repeatedly destroys her sewing machine so she can't make the clothes she so desperately wants to. She takes apart her phone so her old friends can't call her number. She sits out on the porch and cooks and watches tv. Her little brain needs stimulation, but she destroys her access to it in paranoia and I'm not strong enough to hold her hand through it all to make sure she gets it. I can't even speak Spanish to her, which I feel would be so good for her because I think her English processing is slowly slipping away.

I'm so tired despite spending so much time hiding from her when she needs so much help. I don't have it. I give what I can. I handle her best out of anyone in the house. I'm one if the few she hasn't lost faith in. But I'm barely learning to keep myself afloat as a person, I can't carry her too.

Mmmm, I'm Depressed...And Missing My Grandpa

Here's a pic of my "grandparents." Well, it is sort of what they looked like 74 years ago when they got married. My grandpa was a handsome young man and my grandma was a bubbly teenager who was shocked a man like my grandpa (who had many girlfriends prior to her, including her sister and one of my great-grandpa's sisters XD) would even look at her, lol. But my grandpa's world revolved around my grandma, he did everything he could to make her happy and provide for her because he loved her. He did not care about her "ugly teeth" (as my grandma has called them) or short stature, he cared about her and her heart. And my grandma cared about him for the exact same reasons. He was a good man, one I'm honored to have had in my life as a grandfather.

I'm probably going to use it as my profile pic for a bit to "honor" my grandpa and their marriage, then I'll be switching back to Loki.

#rip grandpa #my grandparents #i love them #i miss my grandpa #and my grandma is mourning him #he was her world #and he was my world

my sister helped our grandma change her lock screen to a picture of our grandpa (he died a little over a decade ago) and apparently the next time my sister saw our grandma she said "I'm so happy you helped me change my background to Grandpa because now every time I pick up my phone I smile ^^" and yk I have many issues w my family, but I do hope I end up in a relationship as good as my grandparents was

#relationship #like being so in love w someone you still smile when you see photos of them #even ten years after their death #like i want what they have #my.txt #me.txt #personal #my grandparents #my grandma #family #my sister
