Grandfather is struggling these days, but everyday activities he used to do are no longer activities he has success doing.
I can see the depression of age taking a toll on his mind.
He is miserable & sleepy all the time. I feel poor & I’m worried that someday that will be me. I don’t want to be miserable or sleepy. I want to have a life & be ok with not being able to do things when I get older. He struggles to walk & he prefers soup these days as it’s the easiest thing for him to eat. Anything that he needs help doing I’m there for him. He also has some friends that help as well however the friends he has left, are certainly in no shape to help him either! Recently, he had to get his air filters cleaned. He has the type of air filters that are able to be cleaned. He used to have the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C supplier send out an Heating, Ventilation plus A/C tech to take care of it however these days, Grandfather doesn’t have the money for someone to come out & do it. I usually scrub them every three months for him now so it’s not a giant deal. He has taught me so much in life & I want to help wherever I’m able to. I just know growing up when I made mistakes, need money or some advice he was there for me. He has given me a lifetime of memories so I’ll regularly help & cherish what he has done… No one will update this guy when he passes.
