I’ve always had a really close relationship with my grandma. Since I was a little girl, I would come to my grandparent’s house on the farm and help with all of the animals. After my grandpa died two years ago, she has been a bit anxious and on edge. He died of lung cancer even though he wasn’t a regular smoker. Ever since then, she has been super particular about the air quality in her home. She is really passionate about caring for her respiratory and lung health, so she completely changed their home’s air conditioning and air purification system. She met with so many local contractors to figure out the best plan, but I think she just needed the outlet to explain her story several times to a few strangers. She ended up upgrading the system to one of the highest air conditioners they offered with the best possible air purifier that she could find. It honestly feels like a hospital with how sterile the air feels now, but I know that she feels a lot more comfortable knowing her air quality has improved so much. The standard filters they were using before weren’t quite filtering out the particulate matter that can make their way into the lungs. My parents have even hopped on the wagon and started looking into making changes to our air purification system as well. My grandpa’s death happened so quickly and unexpectedly, so it definitely shook us all up. I’m just happy that my grandma is making good changes for her health now.
