Seven Days
Aug. 12th, 2006 07:43 pmIt's been a week today since Grandpa passed on.
Tomorrow is the rememberance thing for him, so Mom and I went up to help Grandma make sandwiches and stuff (Uncle Len and Aunt Claire, Alex, and Uncle Alec and Aunt Brenda were there, too.)
It's so sad... Grandma isn't even close to herself, not that it's surprising of course. Still. She's only half-there, and she's having so much trouble making even simple decisions right now. She's just completely out of her depth, and doesn't know what to do about anything...
That's why we're helping for the get together tomorrow, because she's having so much trouble doing it herself.
Anyway, I did a bunch of baking on Wednesday; oatmeal and sugar cookies, and a white cake. Then today after I got home, I made a strawberry-rhubarb pie, and a strawberry-rhubard cheesecake, which we're taking with us tomorrow morning when we go up. Apparently, Grandma already bought some goodies from M&M, too.
That in itself is just terrible; Grandma never buys desserts. She always makes her own.
The only time today that Grandma was close to her usual self was when we had lunch and chatted about things not relating at all to what's going on now, and shortly after that when she came with Mom and I to go pick rhubarb from one of the neighbor's gardens...
