Nick and I visited my grandparents today. Gramps is 91, and Granny is 83. Granny is still her lively self. Gramps has been drifting off into his own world for many years now, but it is still good to see a glimmer in his eye, and a quiet laugh in his voice. He gets very tired these days… this is the last time we’ll see them before we leave for our trip.
I always worry it will be the last time.
What they have achieved in their long lives always inspires me to do more with mine.
Beautiful Jess. I envy all of you who still have Grandparents, they are such a special part of our lives.
Yes, I can relate, my last living granparent – nan is 96 and still living by herself (just). She has seen so many changes in her years, it always makes me stop and think of things we take for granted. and like you, when i drive away from visiting I always hope that there will be a next time …xx
