They say that your family is supposed to be the people you can always count on to be there not only in good times, but in times of need as well. I have witnessed first hand that this is not always the case. I have seen people post about their struggles in life, my grandmother is having her own struggles she was diagnosed with dementia last year and was in and out of the hospital all fall and winter - then a few weeks ago fell and broke her hip and has been confined to her house since then. Since September when this started i can count on my 2 hands the number of people that call/visit and/or come to help out with her. My poor grandmother always comments about how nobody bothers with her anymore. I come from a large family and I don't understand why it is so hard for any of them to even pick up the phone to call her to ask how she is doing. That makes her feel better - she gets to tell whoever is there "oh I talked to so and so today" like she is still important to everybody. She may forget later that evening but she will remember again in a day or two. My Gram has always been around for all of us and yet they can't even manage a phone call. They must forgetten that without her they wouldn't even be on this earth! Show more
