So, Grandma.

This post is going to be dedicated completely to Grandma and the big changes that are coming up.

First things first. She has a boyfriend. This makes me feel pretty pathetic since my grandmother has a better love life than I do. So, yeah, grandma has a boyfriend. He's a guy she went to school for 4 years with some 60-70 odd years ago. Since then she has had no contact with this man. Until this year that is....

Apparently, they reconnected via facebook and after grandma visiting down there twice she has decided to move in with him ("This modern generation").

So, coming to a Texas town near you this July... my grandma.

Anyway, this all came as quite the shock to me. I mean, grandma has been around here and less than half an hour away for the entirety of my life. So her moving some 800 miles away is kind of a big deal.

I know I should be happy for her, and I am. I'm glad she's found someone to keep company with and pal around with (that may be putting it too lightly) but part of me feels very wary about the entire situation. First of all, it's happening so quickly! They met via facebook in January, say each other for a couple of hours in May, and then grandma visited for two weeks in June. And now she's moving across the country to be with him. I know she's 83 and that she probably can't give it all the time that someone my age can but I still don't like the whole situation.

Secondly, we have really no clue who this guy is! We know just a little about him and have never actually seen a current photo. He's going to be coming up to take her back so we'll see him then but really, that doesn't really count. We'll have one dinner to meet and get to know him and then he's whisking her down to Texas to live with him. I don't know. It's weird.

Thirdly, it really annoys me that he wanted her to sell her condo and move down there. It almost feels like he's going to swallow her identity. He seems to want her to drop all things currently in her life and glean onto his. He doesn't even really understand closer families so I'm not sure even how often we'll see her.

Which brings me to number four... she's 83! How often am I going to get to see my grandma again in my life. It feels like she's kind of leaving us a little right now. Like we're losing her. And I guess that's the biggest problem of all.

I just don't know. I'm torn.
