My grandfather
George and I visited my grandfather last week. I'd like to say it was a lovely visit. I'd like to say that George bonded with my grandfather. I'd like to say I feel like the visit was worthwhile. Unfortunately, I can't. My grandfather is miserable. He is exhausted. He is lonely. He is depressed. He is ready to die. I think he has been since my grandmother died in 2010. I think I could handle all of that if he hadn't gotten mean, but alas, he is so unhappy to still be alive that he is unpleasant to be around. That makes me really, really sad.
