I'm celebrating grandparents. The day after school ended I got into my car and about nine hours later, I arrived at my mother's house. During my three day visit, I was able to see quite a few family members. My grandfather's health hasn't been spectacular recently so he was why I made the extra trip. I had been scheduled to go in July, but I didn't want to wait. I don't think we often regret making time to see grandparents. I went to see my grandmother on the other side of the family too. These two people were born more than 90 years ago. They've seen a lot of changes. They've been through many challenges. It's fascinating to listen to their stories of the past and I love seeing that twinkle in their eyes when they tell about some of their escapades. Elders are a spectacular gift.
I count my grandparents as some of my most special people, Crystal, & I see that you do, too. How wonderful that you went now & didn't wait. I love being a grandmother and "passing" things on. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love that you appreciate your grandparents and their stories. I remember being fascinated by my Nonnie whom I adored. She could not read or write in English but her biggest desire was for her grandchild to be a literate human being.
ReplyDeleteWow! Over 90 years ago! Grandparents certainly are to be treasured and adored. The photos are priceless. You will cherish them over the years.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing that ever happened to our family was when the Grandmothers had turns living with my parents. I miss them both dearly, but cherish all this time. The stories. Such a blessing to hear the stories. Thanks for sharing. This makes me smile, and my heart just grew a little.
