Hello my friends just thought I would tell you about our visit to a well known burger bar (BK) with two of my grandsons, Colby aged 9 and McKenzie aged 6 but thinks he is 50yrs!! Old LOL LOL
I haven’t been with Elaine picking them up over the winter months because of my illnesses and the weather, but today I ventured out because I had promised to take them for a burger and it was blue sky all the way!!
If ever I wanted another reason to fight with all my might against this awful disease dementia, the look in my grandson’s eyes as they saw me waiting for them with their Nan (Elaine) was another “MESSAGE TO BRAIN” never, ever to give up the fight. Their smiles lit up the play ground and they both held onto me like their life’s depended on it!!LOL You would never imagine we had only seen each other two days earlier!!
So off to the burger bar we went in the car and within seconds the questions were coming thick and fast!! WHY? WHAT? WHEN? And they all had the word “GRANDAD” in front of them; I was convinced they had forgotten their Nan’s name!! LOL Well as you can imagine, I have trouble at the best of times listening at normal speed but always wanting to please, I tried my best to fire the best answers I could back at them, and in turn where possible LOL
I didn’t do too badly for the first ten minutes; I was quite pleased with myself!!HaHaHa, but it went a little downhill from there as I was answering the totally wrong questions and eventually talking about something completely different!!!
But do you know something? I didn’t care, and you know why? Because I was having the best time of my life and it carried on in the Burger bar as well!! Messing about, rocking with laughter, being very loud and boisterous. For those sixty minutes or so the worry of this fatal disease creeping up on me was totally vanquished!! All was well with the world and nothing mattered apart from the loved ones I was with at the time!!
I know sometimes i write about how hard it is and how and far this awful road this illness can take you, but sometimes, just sometimes, things like this happen and it just makes life and the fight all WORTHWHILE!!! This is one of these times and I just couldn’t wait to get home and share it with you my dear friends, I shall sleep the sleep of the peaceful tonight, that’s if I ever stop giggling at the sight of my cheeky grandsons faces!!!
Best wishes, Norrms and family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
