Jenny Lawson in this book starts talking about her memory loss and how she forgot that she wrote this book, and she thinks I don’t believe it and she is right but I cannot help it but she says that so I am going to believe her. There are such normal talks which you can relate to with your everyday life (i am a student but i have some non-marriage relatable stuff as well, DON’T OVERTHINK IT). She is as normal as we can think of yet someone who can steal our hearts in a snap of fingers through her writing. Jenny Lawson is known to include the serious topics like depression, anxiety, panic, each hurting things we go through in a very fun way.

(The above quote is from a proof copy and might have different words in the final print.) I’ll remind you if you remind me” ~Jenny Lawson It’s not just a gift we give to ’s a duty. We have some family members who are like, “Covid’s not real!” And my sister’s like, “Oh, really? Because it killed my granny twice.“And love.

It’s like she gave us this one last story. I think.” It was a 100 percent the way my grandmother would want to go, to keep us guessing. Take me out to the woods.” So you have these mixed emotions of, “Yay, Granny’s not dead! But she probably wants to be?” My mom was like, “I just know she would not want to be here anymore.” The doctor told us she wasn’t going to make it through another night and the next morning they called, and my mom said, “She did it for real this time. ” But my granny’s parents and parents’ parents all had dementia, and when my great-grandparents got it, I remember her being like, “Oh God, don’t let me live through this. She’s still alive.” What we think happened is the hospice nurse got the wrong information from the nurses that worked there - and the hospice lady was of course beside herself: “I’m so sorry, oh my God. She’s probably still alive there somewhere.” She’s like, “Nope, pretty sure.” So she makes arrangements and sends the coroner out, and maybe five hours later, she says, “You were right. I was like, “Are you sure, Mom? She’s so tough. Nobody was allowed in, so my mom would get calls from the hospice, and a hospice nurse told her Granny had passed away. She’s immortal!” We knew she’d been in the hospital with covid - she was the first person in her clinic who got it. We try to laugh about things that are hard in my family, and we always had this joke that she was immortal: She would fall, and they would be like, “She’s not gonna make it through ,” so my mom would sit with her overnight, and then the next day she would wake up and be like, “Well, why are you here? I’m ready for breakfast.” Just over and over. A: She was in a memory care clinic she had dementia.
