I was so thrilled about Grandma's health being good. Her situation really affects on me because I'm usually the one who has to take care of her.

I've always explained it like: To
affect something is to change it in some way. The
effect is the result of that change.
People can also remember that
affect is almost always used as a verb, whereas
effect is almost always used as a noun.
