00:00Chapter 1
00:03What's wrong with my grandma?
00:07What's wrong with my grandma?
00:10I was five years old.
00:13I didn't understand what was happening to my grandmother.
00:17He would forget where he put his medicines, when to pay his bills, and how to get to the grocery store.
00:25But it was never like this before.
00:29He was always a very organized person.
00:33He would remember and tell us even the things we had forgotten.
00:40What's wrong with my grandma?
00:42He used to be a very organized and planned person.
00:46Now he forgets everything.
00:49Or is he sick?
00:50I asked my mother.
00:53“Your grandmother is getting old,” he replied.
00:56What is it like to grow old?
01:00Does every aging person become forgetful?
01:04Will I be like that too?
01:06I said.
01:08Not everyone who gets old becomes forgetful, my dear.
01:12Your grandmother has Alzheimer's disease.
01:15This disease is a disease that causes people to become forgetful.
01:19My mother said.
01:22My mother was working.
01:25So there was no one at home to look after my grandmother.
01:29My parents thought it might be dangerous for my grandmother to live at home alone.
01:36So they decided to take him to a nursing home.
01:42That way, he could get help from someone whenever he needed it.
01:47We would visit him often, too.
01:51I was feeling sad.
01:52Because my grandmother would no longer live with us.
01:57He would miss home.
01:59I was going to miss him so much, too.
02:00“They will have new friends there,” my mother said.
02:06I asked if we could visit him whenever we wanted.
02:10Of course.
02:12We go to see him on weekends.
02:14We also bring gifts.
02:16He said.
02:19We can bring ice cream.
02:20Strawberry ice cream.
02:22“My grandmother loves strawberries,” I said excitedly.
02:26Ok.
02:27We can bring strawberry ice cream.
02:28I felt sad when we visited my grandmother.
02:34I almost cried.
02:36My grandmother is sitting on the couch looking sad.
02:40He was looking out at the trees.
02:43He looked so weak and lonely.
02:47I went to her and hugged her.
02:49Look, grandma.
02:51We brought you a gift.
02:53Strawberry ice cream.
02:54Your favorite.
02:56Saying this, I gave him the ice cream box.
03:00My grandmother didn't say anything.
03:03He opened the box.
03:05And started eating the ice cream.
03:09Look, he loved it very much.
03:11" my mother tried to comfort me.
03:13But I was disappointed.
03:19I said it was as if he didn't recognize us.
03:22You should give him some time.
03:25“We can visit more often and he’ll get used to it,” my mother replied.
03:29But the next time we visited my grandmother, everything was the same.
03:36My grandmother ate the ice cream.
03:39He smiled at us but said nothing.
03:42I asked, aren't you happy to see me, grandma?
03:48"I'm glad because you're bringing me ice cream," said my grandmother.
03:54Grandma, do you know who I am?
03:59My grandmother smiled and looked at my face.
04:01You are the girl who brings ice cream.
04:06Yes, but I am your grandson.
04:10Don't you remember me?
04:12I said and wrapped my arms around his neck.
04:16My grandmother smiled again.
04:19Remember?
04:21Of course I remember.
04:23"You are the girl who brings ice cream," he said.
04:25At that moment I realized that my grandmother would never remember me again.
04:34He lived in a world of his own, full of loneliness and vague memories.
04:41I said I love you so much grandma.
04:45At that moment my grandmother started to cry.
04:49Love, I remember loving you very much.
04:54Why did I love you?
04:56I can't remember this.
04:58Maybe because you brought ice cream.
05:01Anyway.
05:03Nevermind.
05:05I love you and it's beautiful.
05:08My mother then
05:09Here you go, dear.
05:12That's all he wants.
05:15He said love.
05:17Then let's bring him ice cream every day.
05:19I will hug him even if he doesn't remember me.
05:23I answered.
05:24Because remembering love was more important than remembering someone's name.
05:31This story tells one of the narrator's childhood memories with her grandmother.

05:50The child is too young to understand the reason for this situation.

06:24But there is one thing your grandmother remembers.
06:28Love
