Grams!

My grandma says the best things. I am proud to say that I can see a lot of myself in her. She is wonderful.
The highlights of this week's conversation were so good I should share:

"It sure is getting to be an awful world, isn't it?" - When we were talking about the escalating divorce rates, why nobody can get along anymore, and why I am still single. :]

I always ask her to tell me something about my grandpa's life and about their life together and what it was like for them. My grandpa died when I was pretty young so I didn't get the chance to find out for myself. Plus, she loves to talk about him. They were and still are very in love. I only hope I get that.

"They should just let people do what makes them happy, there are so many laws and rules these days." - We were talking about how I have to keep my dog on a leash all the time. She thought dogs would be happier too if they could just play with each other whenever they wanted to.

"I think I will just go and set a fire in the hallway, that'll get some of these old farts moving a bit!" - When I asked her what she was going to do with the rest of her night. She's been in an old folks home for almost three years and hates every minute of it. I can't say I would feel any different. Her life has become very scheduled.

Lastly, "Take it easy on those boys around there, you're a lot like me when I was your age and I know what I would be doing." - I don't really know what she means by this.

Yes, indeed I love her.
