When love and need is one.....

Some of you might remember that in the winter of 2011-2012 we only had 2 snowfalls that actually stuck for more than a day. Grandpa usually drove from his garage to the street to get the mail. The driveway was only 2 car lengths. He would drive down to the street and whip around the mailbox like a Texas oil man in his big car, after some time he had created a large divot by the mailbox. The day of the second snow Grandpa didn’t feel like being out in the cold so Grandma walked out to get the mail, she didn’t know about the divot. She fell and broke her femur. Being elderly, she has to go to a rehabilitation facility for three months when she left the hospital and Grandpa went with her. The Doctors realized during this time that the two of them couldn’t live safely alone anymore. Grandma wanted one last summer with her screened in porch and day lilies though.

I was living in Oberlin at the time. My Dad called me and asked me to move back home and to move in with Grandma and Grandpa in Fairlawn. He wanted me to take care of them while the family found a suitable assisted living facility for them, so I did.

I got there and was astounded to realize that those two had pretty much been living on Klondike bars and coca-cola! Well the party was over! The first thing I did was change their diet to a whole foods organic diet and removed salt from the menu. Next I threw out all of their cleaning supplies and started ordering plant based ingredients on-line to make my own solutions for their household. Finally I couldn’t find any hair and body products that didn’t have extra chemicals for texture, scent and a longer shelf life. I researched hot press saponification and eventually came up with a recipe I really liked. Next I made a conditioner.

One day Grandma and I were in her kitchen, this is when I was still trying to figure out how to make my liquid soap. She had dementia at the time and knew it. I was at the counter working , she was sitting at the table looking at me very sweetly. She said ” ya know I really don’t understand what it is that you are doing but, I know that whatever it is, it’s going to be wonderful!”.
