He could never figure out why she kept telling him to "use your head."

My grandfather passed away very recently. No BS here. The funeral fell the day before my vacation. He has been suffering for years and is now in a better place. Alzheimer’s is a bitch of a disease. I did get the opportunity to spend his last days with him while he was in hospice care. It was a wonderful facility and they definitely made his last days comfortable. He held my hand with all he had left. We watched a ballgame together, one of his favorite things when he was still himself. It was nice if not touching.
At one point he was quite uncomfortable and I excused myself while the orderly checked and changed him. When I returned, I asked if everything was all right. He said "Everything is fine. He was very uncomfortable, but I wiped another Bobby42 take off of him. He's relaxed now." I thanked him and slipped him a $20. No man should ever have to endure that shit.
