You're post about your Grandma is so ...Hi Jen. You're post about your Grandma is so touching. My own Grandmother lived to be 93 and I was just crazy about her, I was 13 when we lost her. 97 years old that is quite an age. I just loved hearing how your son was able to connect with her before leaving on his mission. We're caring for my 90 year old MIL with Alzheimer. It is so difficult. Your post was a pleasant blessing to read.<br /><br />Hugs...Tracy :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643279791342765171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-63618495041343000212010-09-09T19:49:54.760-06:002010-09-09T19:49:54.760-06:00Thanks Jen!

(I know it's not the same as going on a mission & being gone for two years but the feelings are the same.) I was so worried my grandmothers would be gone before I came home. Fortunately, they were not and went on to live six more years each. I miss them every day since their passing. <br />Your grandmother reminds me of mine - the wit - it's to die for. I miss having a wiser elder to listen to - stories & advice. <br />Have courage & be strong. Your son is on a goodly path. And may your grandmother out live us all!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398085226412988111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-92169854451305392662010-09-07T23:55:16.334-06:002010-09-07T23:55:16.334-06:00Oh my gosh I would love to meet yoru grandma.
