奶奶 ,依然爱你
M y grandmother was diagnosed with the early stages of Alzheimer ' s disease when I was in fifth grade. At that point in my life ， I was a kid. I was selfish as all kids are ， so I didn 't think twice about it. I had no idea how it would eventually affect my life ， as well as my family ， in such a large way.
I have a very tight-knit family ， and my grammy is the glue that holds us together. I remember going to my grandparents ' farmhouse every chance I could when I was a kid. My grammy would always make me chocolate milk and a Fluffer-Nutter sandwich. We would watch Winnie the Pooh movies and color — my grammy and I both love the smell of a new box of crayons. Sometimes，if I were lucky ，she would take me to the barn to feed the calves or to see the new kittens. Little did I know， that these would be the childhood memories I would miss most of all.
As I grew up ， I noticed my grammy changing. At first ， it was just little things. She would forget where she set her book ， or she couldn't find her purse. Once again， I didn't think it was serious. I could never have guessed how it would progress， transforming my grammy into someone I could hardly recognize.
There was one incident in particular that was my wake-up call. I remember thinking ，“ This isn't a joke， and my grammy isn' t my grammy anymore.
