daily routines.
in the morning:
open the front door. walk out onto the porch. look around. look for newspaper. look around more. can’t find it so you just enjoy the good or bad weather. hear Mama yelling to get back inside. quickly walk back inside. explain, you were looking for the newspaper (even though we never get it at my house, sorry).
in the afternoon:
get outta bed when Mama falls asleep. sit on the kitchen couch. get up. get food. walk around & explore the house. get food. explore. get food. explore. continue until Mama wakes back up & yells at you for not “respecting our privacy around the house”. nap time!
while eating breakfast/lunch/dinner:
keep stuffing your face till Mama tells you other wise…saying youre not behaving right or eating sloppily.
once i’m home from school/hoop practice: (my favorite part :))
chill on the couch with ur (favorite) granddaughter <3. turn on some cartoons. laugh. enjoy urself. look at ur granddaughter with a smile she’ll never forget. a smile that warms her heart inside and out, knowing you’re still enjoying life. share cheeto’s, oreos, milk, while sneaking cups of sprite …while the grown-ups rn’t looking of course. hahah! pull out your old deck of playing cards. look at them, hoping you’ll remember how to play again… hold them in ur hand for a little bit then put them back together. look at her with a confused look but end up smiling again anyways. back to snacks & cartoons. share a blanket. fall asleep.. (with ur mouth open :P <3). dream away as you get tucked in by your granddaughter, she’d watch over you and kick it with you for the rest of the day but she has homework. dinner time.
bet you didn’t kno this was my grandpa’s daily routine @ 1st.
you can easily see that 3 strokes have done a lot to Papa (a.k.a. my grandpa).
his mind is lost.
after his 1st stroke, i was the only thing/person he had remembered, laying down in the hospital bed. after giving it some time, he started remembering his wife, his kids, and the rest of his grandkids. his most recent strokes have really damaged his brain, he hasn’t been able to remember much exept 1) his wife 2) the fact that he has served in the navy for hella years.
it scares me how often u end up in the emergency room, sick. idk what i’d do without you.
i dedicated solo by iyaz to my grandpa the 1st time he had a stroke.
beautiful song.
i love u so much Papa, i look forward to hanging out with u everyday after school & hoop practice. :) <3
