“I’m happy if you’re happy” I just said to my Gran.“I’m too old to be happy” she replied.
I had to smile. “..And I’m too young to be sad.
My Gran (@Granumentally) is 85 years old. She has good days and bad days. Today was a bit of both.
My oldest surviving relative and one of very few. I have known her longer than anyone alive. Including myself.
I’ll miss her deeply when she’s gone.
Right now we hug alot, smile at the little things and say “I love you” instead of goodbye.
Your doing the right thing, enjoying every moment you have. They are priceless.
Yes. What Tookie says. What a lovely character she is *Hugs* x
Thanks for the comments guys. It’s the little exchanges like this I’d like to remember more than anything..
too many people ignore their Grandies. When I saw my Grandma last week, we were signing ‘ here we are again, happy as can be’ as we drove up to my mum’s house, and she finished off the song with ‘in the pissing rain’ – and oh how we laughed!

That’s beautiful and you made me cry ( you rotter)! Getting old is so scary and it creeps up on you so fast, I realise that more since my husband died. I think you and @Granumentally make a great team.
You are a very good granson. This was lovely to read…
My wish for both of you is to have many more years and opportunities to share those “happy” feelings, even through sadness and nostalgia
