Why? I’m curious because it makes me sad too but it’s probably because my grandfather died of Alzheimer’s after a decade of degrading. I remember when he was being taken to the home the man who used to complain that I wasn’t as quick witted as my mother (his daughter) was trying to pick up flowers from the floor tile pattern. The stress on his wife and the whole family was extreme. It wasn’t the worst thing in my family, mostly because the family as it was is a now defunct dysfunctional mess on the whole, but it’s probably between that and my dad being a psychotic (literally as in experiencing psychosis) drunk, any form of seeing an old man act that way = BAD in my mind now.
