One summer, I lived with my 97-year-old grandmother and helped her while she was going through chemo. I bathed her, made her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and did all the grocery shopping and more for her. I would read to her, and just sit with her and keep her company. It was a great experience that I will never forget.
