Life At 102. My Timeless BFF
Last weekend I went to see my Grandma Sauvage. I called her to let her know I was coming the day before. She lives in an assisted living community in a suburb of Seattle. Next month she will be 102 years old. When I went in to see her I noticed her hair was very greasy. This is what happens when you are 102, taking a shower on your own becomes more of a chore. I wish the staff at the assisted living place where she lives would say something or help her out more, but I knew my aunt was on her way to visit so maybe she would notice and say something about it. (wishful thinking?) Its really not my place to say anything since my grandmother has 5 living adult children who look after her. Overall she is well cared for and smiles a lot. She said she was blessed and had not pain. I love my grandmother and don't see her as just an older woman who used to make pies. She was much more than that. I spent a lot of one on one time...
