I was with my grandma today. She's old, over 70 years old. I love her to bits, but her age is really showing.

She's slow, completely behind the times, everything hurts all the time... She's still a sweetheart that cares for her family, but this is kind of freaking me out. I want her to live forever, but I can see that she really won't.

I suppose all I can do is appreciate the time we still have together, and that's what I intend to do.

Remember to talk to your loved ones!

I'll think about it though, I guess there's always the chance I just never asked the right questions to hear something even remotely pleasant...

Even if it isn’t pleasant it’s her history and your family history.

You won’t be able to ask these questions when she’s gone.

You've got a point... I didn't record it, but I did try to ask a little today, when I met with her for lunch.

Thanks for the replies, I really do appreciate it.

You’re welcome.

There’s stories fro my dad I wished I recorded. Hell, I wish I recorded more of his voice. Because ones they’re gone, so is there voice (on many different levels).
