Both of my grandmothers lived to be over 90, so I was 50ish when they passed away. They were both great ladies.
True story about my paternal grandmother when I was about 50. The last time I saw her was at a family reunion, and one of her sons had gathered her up from the VA senior center where she lived. She had had a number of small stokes and her memory was not so good. At some point I went over to say hello, and her son (my uncle) told her (loudly - lots of hearing loss) that "this is Buckeye, he is "Buckeye senior's boy". She looked at me and smiled and said "you always were a pretty boy". Just thinking of it still brings tears to my eyes.
On a more depressing note, one of my grandsons recently turned 29. How can that be?

Am sorry you miss your grandmother. made me think about mine.
My nanny Was an elegant peaceful lady with an English accent. She played the piano by ear and had four budgies that flew free in her house. She lived with my aunt who was just the opposite and could not see life’s beauty.
Memories. When I think of her I hear her house. Her birds, her piano.
Thankful for the memories. Cherish the old and look forward to making new ones.
