not let my family stop me from finishing college.

my family seems to think that my life can easily be put on hold because they think that i’ve no aim in life and so i must do things for them.
Okay, i’m not being fair. the reason why i had to stop going to school was because my grandmother’s alzheimers’ was getting worse and my grandfather didnt want to have a live in nurse or some such move in and take care of grandma. so i did it. I have to tell you, it’s the hardest thing i’ve ever done. physically, mentally, and emotionally. everything was hard. picking her up, being awake or waking up really fast to make sure grandma doesnt try to run outside in the rain and run in the street, and trying so desperatly not to get emotional seeing a loved family memeber act so INCREDIBLY different then how she normally was.
It was something that i’m glad i did only for the fact that i love my grandmother, but my grandfather didnt understand that it’s hard to care for an alheimer’s patient when your not trained. It took my family almost 6-7 months to finally convince my grandfather it was time for my grandmother to be put into a specialized care facility. sad, but true.
