My 92 year old great-grandfather has been taken into hospital after fracturing his hip and has had a two hour operation... I'm so scared he's not going to make it through. And his 94 year old wife is at my grandparents; they have been married 70 years and they haven't been separated since I've been alive: won't go anywhere without the other. And he's going to be there for 10 days, and she's not well and able enough herself to go stay up there like most wives would. He looks after her day and night and now we're worried what happens after this. He was only taking the bins out, for goodness sake! A simple, everyday task. So does he go into care? He refuses to, but we have to think about it. And what about my great-grandma, what about her? She can't live on her own. She's a lot frailer than he is. So do they move in with my grandparents? It's just horrible to think that he could die now. Like... I know he's 92 but I am really close to him and death is never a nice idea. I want him and my great grandma to live forever and never ever be separate.
I genuinely think if one of them dies, then the other one would die from heartbreak.
I'm just a 17 year old wanting to learn what life's all about, and capturing it as I move along. Whether it be with photos or with words.
I know its just hard to say goodbye to the ones you love. I am amazed(i know that's not the right word) to hear the story of your great gramp's and gran's. I'll pray that he'll come out healthy and the life they are living will go smooth as ever..:)
