I hear you on this. Familial relationships, especially the ones with wide generational gaps always have this vague tension to them. My grandma is 102 and there's a whole lifetime between us. There's a certain kind of understanding you hope you can find in your family. They may not understand us, but you don't need to "understand" someone to love and care for them. I hope this isn't an intrusive comment from a stranger, but I just hope you're able to find comfort in knowing there's something painfully universal about that experience. <3

I appreciate this, and honestly hadn’t thought of it this way. Thank you.
