Grandmom's Boy

My husband has always loved his grandma so. He comes from a divorced family,his father and grandma live in Philly and he moved to Maryland when he was 2. He had a dad here in Maryland and  father in Philly. That's the best way I can put it. His father didn't have to much to do with him while he was growing up.

 So BJ (hubby) as a child would go to his grandma's every summer and sometimes for holidays. They did everything together went to the beach, went to the Showboat, shopping, or just hanging out.As he got older and after high school he joined the Army so he couldn't just go see her when he wanted to but he did call her. He called her every single Sunday even during deployments.

 I first got to meet her in 2004 at her house and she is a doll. Such a sweetheart full of love an would help you out in a heartbeat kinda lady. I just love her to death like as if she was my very own grandma ( I never got to meet mine). We went up after the birth of our children so she could meet her Great Granddaughters.Oh boy did she fall in love.We also went up when hubby was on R&R during his last deployment. Kaidance has only meet her 3 times in person but she talked to her on the phone all the time and remembers her Kellsiey on the other hand she doesn't so much.

So one Sunday we call and get a nurse saying grandma had fallen and she couldn't really get a round to well. Next time we called no answer,we thought the worst. Looking online for a hint of what might have happened to her if she was in the hospital or worse. I called around to hospitals and BJ called around to nursing homes. Finally he found her but he wasn't allowed to talk to her.So we called his father to find out what had happened. She just kept falling and started to lose her mind and she is diabetic so those all combined he felt it was best to have her in a safe facility.
BJ called him all the time to try and get to talk to her and to find out how she was and I must say at some points his father was not the nicest of ppl and that didn't bring out the nicest in me.

 So we told him that after we got back home to Maryland that we wanted to come see her,and so we did. We went up last weekend to see her. We meet up with his father and his girl friend and then walked into this place where she is. I was taken a back by the way she looked at first ( never seeing her without her hair done) so I can only imagine the look on BJ's face. He was so upset thinking she wouldn't remember him but she sure did.She also remembered the girls. She is still such a sweetheart,her mind is not at it's best but how could she forget her best friend.
It put a smile on my face to see him with her and her remember all the stuff they used to do and to just hear her voice. The girls did very well with the visit also grandma would say some things that didn't make sense or something completely random but they didn't question her at all. At one point she started to cry (which she does every time she sees BJ) this is also another reason we knew she remembered him.

We plan on making many more trips. She may not remember that we were there recently but she remembers him and the girls and that is all that matters.  He loves her with all that he is and he is trying to build a bond with his father praying that works out also.
