I should be happy...

... but I feel kinda guilty.

MeMa is moving out tomorrow. She's going to live with her niece. We've also looked into Skylyn Place in Spartanburg. That is in her price range so if things don't go well living with her niece, we have a backup plan. I've wanted this for so long. I have the patience of Job with children, but when it comes to senior citizens I have no patience at all. I think it's because I remember how MeMa used to act and now I feel like all of this is an act even though most of it isn't. She'd start crying tonight and ask my daddy what was going to happen to her. She doesn't understand that the reason she is having to leave our house is because daddy is having his heart surgery and we won't be able to take care of her as much as she needs it. She thinks we are tired of her and just want her out. Daddy will be out of commission for at least 2 months and she will just cause so much more stress for him. I just hate to see her upset. How can someone that I loved and wanted to spend so much time with when I was younger become someone that I am annoyed by and don't like spending time with?

I just feel torn.

I should be happy.

I'm getting what I wanted.

By His Grace.

It's ok Elizabeth! I know it's hard to feel torn about your emotions like that. My MaMa is in a nursing home and it's been difficult at times so just hang in there! We are praying for your dad's surgery!
