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!

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).
