This was a sweet, sweet post, Marla.

I know what! You tell her stories! I think she’d like that.

Thanks for the reminder. I”m making a call list today.

My grum and I are very close. She lives in IA, and I live in WA, but for about 12 years, she and my mom and I lived together, while I was growing up. We chat at least once a week. She turned 84 and even more opinionated on Feb. 5th.

so so sweet, makes me really miss both my grandma {{sniff sniff} I would love to hear their voices on the other end of the phone. Funny story, my grandma (dad’s mom) had a phone in her bathroom, across form the potty – you never know when you might need it.

Your title says it all. Mine is 88 and counting. She insists that she’s ready for Heaven, but I remind her often that God must be keeping her around for a reason. She shakes her head and says, “well I don’t know why.”

Thanks for the important reminder.

Happy Birthday, Joan, from your Texas friend.

Hahahaha! Oh, dear sweet Grandma! This post makes me miss her so much! I can hear in my head exactly how she would have said each of those lines. You are so blessed to have lived so close to her all your life. Thank you for sharing this. It makes her feel a little closer to this distant granddaughter.

I adore grandparents. I was raised by mine. Both are still living and I love soaking up time with them.

I love taking my babies to the nursing home to visit. It shows them how to love on others even if we don’t know them and how wonderful it makes them feel!!

Marla I’m bawling as I’m ready your blog about your Gram. I cherish and adore me Grandma! I came to live with her when I was 5 months old so there literally isn’t a day in my life that I can’t remember her. Grandmas are amazing women, aren’t they! Her views on life are spot on even if I really don’t want to believe her. Thanks for a great post I needed that today;)
