Stolen Part V

This weekend my sisters and I traveled to Owensboro to see our paternal grandmother (who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's-please see previous "Stolen" blogs). While our grandmother seemed to be in good spirits (and for the most part of sound mind) it was emotional sorting through her things at her house. My sisters and I discovered old photos, mementos, toys, etc. that brought back a flood of memories. This entire process is difficult-much more heart wrenching than I imagined it would be. While my sisters and I sorted through her things (and divided up what we each wanted), it still cannot replace our grandmother as we have always known her. The objects are merely sources of comfort yet sadly it cannot replace what has always been.
