Craftella Scrapbooking: Effortlessly positive - Craftella Scrapbooking

My grandpa is pretty sick with a bunch of different ailments. He has late stages of emphysema for starters. He is on permanent oxygen. Because I have a self guided work schedule I tend to be able to take him to the doctor during week days. We had one such date yesterday.

He always asks me about work and what I am doing on here. He doesnt own a computer and refuses to get one but I have tried to explain it all to him. I decided yesterday I would bring him one scrapbook and a bunch of loose pages I havent bought a book for yet. I wanted to show him what exactly it is that I do.

He is very into photographs, so I knew he would appreciate seeing them. He looked through them all. Some were older pages and we talked about how long ago some of them were. There was one page from this past Halloween of a photo of Jason and me. He went on and on about what a great photo it was of us and how we are such a "good looking couple"

Before I left(about 3 hours later and a trip tot he dr) he complimented me on my pages again. He also said, I really want another photo of you two, dont forget to get me one.

I think I will be printing out the pic from Halloween lol. I wish that someone else were there with me though because I want nothing more than a photo with him. I mentioned it to him, he didnt object. I am going to have to make a special trip there for one. I think I may even make him his own page to keep.

My mom has explained that he is different with me than he is with her and her sisters. He treats me how they wish he treated them. I have a hard time seeing him as anything but wonderful. I never get frustrated with him. He is sick, its not easy. I understand though that he isnt my father and I wasnt around for the bad times. But that is why I am a granddaughter and he is a grandpa. We are allowed to have a relationship like we have. We dont have to see the negative in one another. And we dont. It is always easy and that is nice, to have that in your life whether you are a grandpa who is really sick or a young granddaughter just starting out her life journey.

We even chatted about me having a hard time having babies. He told me to go talk to that Octo mom haha and then said he didnt get the big deal with Jon and Kate plus 8, why are they even popular??? I said that if I have 8 babies I am giving him 4. lol

I had a nice time yesterday and I am looking forward to doing my page of us.
