Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yep, exactly. His health doesn't seem to suffer because he eats meat. He's not in perfect health, but the problems he has are what typically accompany old age, so I can't directly blame meat for them. When I make something meatless, he doesn't seem to even notice, like you said! I cherish every moment I ever had with Grandma, I cherish every moment I have had and will have with Pappaw. He doesn't seem to realize it yet, but I need him just as much as he needs me. So as bad as I might feel when I throw a slab of meat in the pan for him, I know he's eaten like that for 75 years and it's no use for me to try to change it, nor any of my business to try to change it! LOL! Happy Thanksgiving!!! -Sara In a message dated 11/22/2006 8:04:45 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, thelilacflower writes: Sweet One, you follow your heart. You and Grampy will be fine. Watch and see, you will be happy you didn't force him to change. My Grampy lived to be 97 and ate meat 3 times a day (not that I think he diet was right but it was right but this was his choice) so I think your Grampy's health isn't going to suffer. You cherish the moments spent with him, you both need one another emotionally more than ever right now. Happy Thanksgiving! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
