The CK Daily – Making Memories
Happy Wednesday!
I hope everyone is having a great week. This week has been a whirlwind! For the next two weeks, we’ll be down visiting my parents in the Florida Keys. It’s a beautiful place, but this trip comes with a lot of emotion.
We’re here to hang out and take care of my grandmother while my parents go on a trip. It’s exciting because I’m grateful for the chance to spend some time with her, but it’s also bittersweet—she suffers from dementia, which is hard. Ever since my grandfather passed a few years ago, she has regressed rather quickly. Honestly, since they live so far away, it’s always a little nerve-wracking to show up and worry that she might not remember who I am. But I try to remind myself that it’s not her fault and never intentional.
Anyway, like I said, I’m really looking forward to spending time with her. It’s time I’ll never forget, and I’m thankful to have the flexibility to be here. I look forward to sharing some of the sweet memories we get to make over the next week.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
