Hope for Emergencies

Chihuly in the Lobby

Back at the Botanical Gardens Nights of Lights, this time with my parents and grandma. It was lovely for the most part, but at the end of the evening it became impossible to ignore my grandmother's difficulty in getting around when she careened out of control and nearly fell into traffic. Up til now it was just her mind that was faltering. We've already had months of family infighting between those who can't face the sad reality and those who are losing sleep worrying about her all alone in that house, senile and struggling to walk.

In the end, I find I'm struggling to feel cheery about tonight when I'm so angry at my aunts and uncles for letting it get this bad and refusing to do anything to help her.

Blerg.
