When we were dating, my guy's grandmother lived with his family. The woman was well into her 90's and had Alzheimer's, often showing signs of confusion, but one thing was certain; she loved her grandson.

What are we going to do? How do I decide? Which college should I choose? Should we have another baby? These are important questions that most of us face at some point in life.
