Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yep, exactly, LOL. He's 75 years old and I figure he's old enough to make his own choices, he doesn't need me playing food police, LOL. I do make sure he eats right, but if he wants the meat, I can't tell him no. It's his home, not mine, therefore I can eat how I want but I can't tell him how to eat or what to do. He's made it this long and I respect him and and, as you said, grant him the dignity he deserves. Sara In a message dated 11/22/2006 4:28:10 P.M.

Do what you feel is right for your grandfather. My daugter says that her grandmother(her grandmother(<WBR>my mother) who is 87 has the right no do as she pleases. Mother is in excellent health and has a very good diet,lives alone and takes care of her self and her home. But she sometimes chooses to eat what some in the family consider to be " bad for her food " ..She will at times bake a cake and eat it over a week's time. After 87 years we honor her wishes and treat her with the dignity and respect she deserves. Sending peaceful thoughts, smiles and hugs your way Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
