My great-grandmother is my only remaining great-grandparent. She is 97-years-old. She’s Portugee (Portuguese from Hawaii) and grew up in Laupahoehoe on the Big Island of Hawaii. She is currently very healthy, but has extremely senility and can no longer remember most of the things around her, nor can she take care of herself. She is living in a home where she gets 24-hour care (although it’s not a typical senior living facility). The last time I saw her she told me that sometimes she forgets who I am. But I want to go back and she her one more time even if she doesn’t remember who I am. One more hug, one more kiss, one more time talking to her would mean everything to me.
