Disgraceful

I just got off the phone with my grandmother and Let me just say it was probably one of the most heartbreaking conversations I've ever had with her. For her to actually THANK me for being a respectful and understanding granddaughter hurt me. She shouldn't have to thank her grandchild for being respectful at all, it should just be expected and given. The fact that my cousins treat her so poorly literally causes me pain. My grandmother is probably one of the most caring, and giving woman that I have ever known. Her capacity to love amazes me. I could only hope to be half the woman she is one day. I owe that woman my life and so much more for all that she has done for me. She has always been there for all of us without pause, and I can't even comprehend how someone could make her feel so unwanted or unloved. To hear her cry and thank me and my brothers for always treating her the way she should be treated is bullshit! There are 9 of us, and we wouldn't even be here for her. We've all been helped by her at some point in our lives. She's changed us, fed us, and loved us. Even in our most shameful moments in our lives, she's loved us unconditionally. In no way should she receive such treatment by any us. I promise that I will never let her go another day feeling so hurt. I love you Grammy!
