My grandfather is a stubborn old man. He has some serious diseases and we need to take him to the hospital at least once in a month. The problem is that he always disobeys his doctor. It doesn't matter how much we try: he keeps on killing himself, doing a lot of things he should't do and eating food he's forbidden from eating. Have you ever faced a similar situation? how did you reacted? How did you felt? Things on my home usually gets upside down because of him. Sometimes I Feel like tying him on the bed, lol...

He dows leaves with my grandmother. She is the one who most takes care of him. But it's not easy to keep things going. At least he takes his medicine, if don't, he would have passed away a long time ago. Well, I'll see if chating with him alittle more is gonna help. After all, a member of the family is always a member of the family, it doesn't matter how they look neither what they do.
