I visited my grandmother today at her nursing home on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Along with my mom who just flew in from Maryland and my aunt, we spend a few hours there. I always get sad when I visit, though. Most of the residents there are elderly with little or no family around to take care of them. My grandmother turned 89 this year and she get's daily visits from my uncles, aunts, and various other relatives on a daily basis. A lot of the folks there hardly get weekly visits if ever! The thought of being practically helpless and ALONE totally bums me out. I sincerely hope that I don't end up like that.
