It was 2002, and two months earlier, my mum, Debbie, bad moved my two older sisters and me 4000km away from our old home and my grandma Mary, 62, for a new job.
Before the move, Grams, as I called her, lived with us, and she and I shared a bedroom. She'd help me get ready for school each morning, and on weekends she'd take me shopping or to the horse races. We're like two peas in a pod (形影不离). Everywhere we went, people knew Grams for her outgoing personality and I missed it desperately.
"I want to move back with Grams," I told Mum one day. Aware of our special bond, she told me to call Grams and see what she thought. "I'd love that. Krissy!" Grams exclaimed down the phone line. So at 15, I flew back to live with her. We became properly best friends. watching old movies or dancing to music together. Grams was very stylish, often giving me fashion advice, and she also taught me how to cook.
When I attended high school, I bccame a bit wild, staying out late. But when I came home, Grams always welcomed me with open arms. "Remember, Krissy." she told me, "No matter where life takes you, family is what matters." It was her unconditional love that got me through my teenage years and kept me from going completely off the rails.
When she reached her early 70s. Grams began exhibiting some strange behavior. One day, I noticed she'd turned on the oven. "What are you cooking, Grams?" I called out. "I'm not cooking anything," she responded in confusion from the living room. This forgetfulness became a pattern of dangerous behavior. One day, we even found her barefoot in the snow. Eventually, she confessed that something didn't feel right in her mind. "It's like I'm not here in this world with you," she told me sadly.
I took her to the doctor and the result was heartbreaking. "Your grandma has Alzheimer's disease," the doctor told us, "she'll need 24-hour care." Helpless, we checked her into assisted living. However, it seemed that my once lively grandma was very depressed there, which grieved me a great deal.
