LOVE

I love my grandmother. My grandmother is eighty years old. That, to me, is very old.

       In her old age, ahe sometimes does silly things. My parents say she is senile. I do not agree. I see that she is just absent-minded.

       The other day she came to me saying she could not find her spectacles. She had been searching all over the place for them. Ofcourse she could not find them because they were resting on her forehead all the time! She must have pushed them up there while doing something else and forgot about them. I told her so. She expressed her suprise.

       Once she went next door with her slippers and returned with a pair of wooden clogs.

       She leaves the lights on and forget to turn off the tap. She switches on the fan and says it is cold. She tries to cook without ligthing fire. She sweeps the floor umpteen times a day, 

forgetting she has already swept it. She keeps misplacing her ring, her spectacles and other personal items. In short she is terribly absent-minded, very forgetful.

       What can i do? Well, nothing except to help her as much as I can and to prevent her from causing danger to herself.
