Kinda makes me remember my grandfather on my dad's side... After having 15 kids and so many grandchildren, he got real tired of kids around the house... but whenever I and my sister would come to visit, he'd always hug us and kiss us on the forehead. And with so many grandkids he didn't remember everyone, but he never once forgot our names or what we were doing in life. I miss him a lot sometimes... unfortunately I never got to meet my grandmother, she passed away a few years before I was born.. but I have a feeling she would've been a lot like your grandmother... Tell her I said Happy Birthday =).

That's very cool that you took the time to do that and show us all a side of you we probably would not normally see. Grattis, as they say in my other language, Happy Birthday to your Granny!

Enjoy her as much and for as long as you can. There won't be a second chance, once she's gone. My dad's mother lived to nearly 102 --- from 1899 - 2001. The neat thing about that is that she lived in 3 different centuries. Not many people will ever have that distinction. Nice story Tony. Enjoy her as much and for as long as you can.

My Grandma (long since passed) sailed on the Olympic, twin sister of the Titanic, one month before Titanic took it's big dive. She remembered meeting both Titanic Captain Smith (who was then the Olympic's capt) and 1st officer Murdoch at that time.

I took care of my grandmother for a couple of years in my teens. She was ornery in her old age and none of her NINE children would take care of her so I did. For a few months, she kept up the facade of old bitter woman. However, she eventually let go and I discovered how frail and afraid she was. I spent two years getting to know my grandmother as a person. I learned things about her life that I'd never known otherwise. Eventually, her health improved and I went back to my own life. Four years later she died. When they read her will, she had left all of her children what little money she had. The scandal was she included me as well. They were all furious of course. I used the money to go to college. My grandmother is the only family connection from childhood that I still look back on. Good for you Tony. I hope she lives to be 120.
