Call my grandma

will do more often

my grandma is so grumpy i do not even feel like calling… but!!!
I need to always try

I finally called her! She doesn’t sound like the same grandma though so it was a bit weird. My mom says she now has Parkinson’s and that may partly be why, along with her loss of the independence she was once so proud of. Having her so far away makes it easier and harder at the same time. I need to be a better granddaughter though because she is going through a really tough time. Unfortunately she probably won’t ever be the same grandma I remember.

I don’t why this had turned into such a hard thing to do but if I don’t call her, she’ll never forgive me. I wish I could just stop in to see her. Speaking Spanish on the phone to her is so hard especially when she spent most of the time giving me a guilt trip about never calling her. I’ll get the number from my mom today and work up the courage to call by tomorrow.

I called my Grandma!! She was so happy, and she calls me now!! It’s so cute. I love her.

I finally called her.. She sounded a lot better than I was expecting… Hope she gets out of the hospital soon…

I don’t know why i was so worried about calling her but I finally did the other day. She was so happy to hear from me and it kinda took a weight off of me.

I set a time to call her tonight, and felt that familiar resistance…what IS that? But I followed through and had a wonderful conversation. She’s such a wonderful woman.

I’m going to set dates to call her monthly now. :)

It drives me crazy. Every week it seems like I think to myself “you should call your grandma,” and every week I don’t do it. I guess I’m afraid of it for some reason—like, what if we don’t have anything to talk about? Or what if she’s just mad that I haven’t called in a long time.

She’s such a sweet person, and has been so influential in my life. And when I think about how happy it makes her when I call, it breaks my heart that I don’t do it more often.

I need to set an appointment to call her. I think it’s the only way I’ll actually do it. So, tonight—7pm.

.. because shes a crazybusy woman. i hope she’ll call me back! i wanna take her to dinner
