I'm so sorry. My grandma once called me...Ugh. I'm so sorry. My grandma once called me in a panic from her nursing home saying she didn't know where she was and nobody had consulted her on the move, that she had just been abandoned there, etc. I reminded her that we'd all talked about it for years and that her son had just been there and my mom was coming the next day.... She didn't believe me and hung up.

But I can totally see that happening--some very vile things come out of my step-grandma's mouth and they are figments of her imagination.<br />You are an incredible daughter to drive so far and check in on your dad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-56973191253863882822013-06-17T07:24:28.941-04:002013-06-17T07:24:28.941-04:00Oh my goodness.

She has twice hidden her ATM card and then forgotten where. This time, I'm not arranging for another one; I just got one for me, since I buy all her groceries anyway. Now she'll have even more reasons to fear (even sporadically) that I'm stealing from her. Your dad's neighbor probably thinks the same things about HIS kids. I think I can say: Oh, yes.
