I Miss My Grandma

I miss my grandma although she still here with us on this planet we call earth and 85 years old next month I miss her! Early this year she was diagnosed with Alzheimer Disease.
It felt like literally she went from a sweet kind healthy beautiful person to someone who couldn't even dress herself in a matter of weeks. She is my mother' mom! I have amazing memories with her. Every Friday thru primary school after school she will be waiting outside the school for me and my brother :)
She lived about an 20mn away so she will pick us up and usually with a treat till Sunday night when my parents will come to get us or sometimes we would stay till Monday morning. As a child I was obsessed with mangoes when in season or chewing gum haha my parents didnt let us have chewing gum as mom was tired of taking it out my hair because I slept with it or hid it next to my bed to chew on when parents weren't looking. My brother wanted chocolate, a slice of cake or ice cream. Every Friday she will see us running from a classroom towards her and she will bend down and try to hold us both while we fight and push and shove each other to get her affection sometimes will be tears and punching naturally haha. I remember the cuddles and kisses. We will sit on bench chairs near the school eat our treats, fight some more for who can get closer to her and she will tell us how beautiful and grown up were getting. Then we will walk to the bus stop as she held one of us on each hand and really really tight I remember so we don't run on the road or get hit by sonething. oh wow..Memories!!! I can't remember last time I thought of this..Thank you similarworlds this is indeed a great app and i found it by accident. Never heard of it before although I've heard of EP. Anyway the bus wasn't never good experience for me, my brother was a little terror and he would run around and do silly things in the bus but I was expected to sit like a little lady and behave of course I will be telling him to sit which usually either he will get a punch or I will get one and grandma will start on her threats or give the LOOK..Yes the lady had THE look the one that says sit the F-down or else lol.First thing when we arrived to her house was to take off the uniform etc, do homework and run outside to play..Happy days lol..It depends on what she had planed as it was the weekend and no school the next day and homework out of the way we could stay up late till we crash.We would do the norm.. shower etc..then would have junk food. Friday night was junk food night..lol.. yes chips, burgers pizza , biscuits, cakes abd more chocolate and sugar whatever oh and soft drinks basically whatever we wanted and we never got at home as long as it was our secret and parents weren't to know! Friday was always hectic not me or my brother ever told my parents about Friday night fun to grandma's I know I never did lol... Saturday mornings after breakfast shower and made our beds, Ash will go to play soccer or whatever they got up to with his friends and I will stay home and she will teach me knitting, crochet or cookin..Saturday lunch was a feast with the relatives, the homeless, the hungry, the poor the sick the wanderers, gypsies, similarworlds types the drunks the crazies the misfits the rejects the respected the rich the youth babiees young old tall short skinny fat ugly good looking black white green yellow aliens just show up with open arms ready to meet participate give a hand and be part of the true family abd that is human kind! Saturday feast was and still is famous! She started it!!!!. The community party will go on thru the evening and around 7.30pm was story telling time!!! Wow.. I remember!!! Sunday after morning routine was church. Catholic usually just the kids and found adults went .We will get well dressed usually new outfit every Sunday...we didn't get home till after lunch and usually my parents were home to grandma and things were all formal again...I remember starting to dread to go home lol.. Some weeks I will beg grandma for us to stay till Monday morning or mom will put her foot down if she missed us and took us home on Sunday. My brother may be my parents favourite but I sure as hell grandma favourite and she made no apology for that! and I can't wait to see her on Thursday and read her this story..I wonder if she will hear me..She is in nursing home for the past 9 months and I am heartbroken...I got voted out as I wanted her to be cared at home with us..Good news she is just literally across the road from us but they have rules and yes she doesn't always recognise us! If you read this far as I just poured my heart out and let the feelings flow, you are amazing! Thank you. If there a such thing as an angels on earth grandma is one of them! !This is a big call but my grandma is the most amazing human being I know!! One thing I know for sure is that she loved human kind. Fed the hungry, protected the weak,put the roof over the homeless fought for the underprivileged and never asked anything in return except to be just GOOD to each other and pay it forward!!! Her name is Christina and become a widow at 24 years old. Never remarried nor I ever ever saw any other man around her! I never knew my grandpa he died in the plane crash! She al ways said to me there is not substitute for true love! Grandpa death in nutshell payed for every Saturdayfeast when I was growing up, this story from whwn i was 7 to 11 years old..there is so much good in the world! Otherwise bad would not exist!
This is freaking therapy. I feel privileged to be here, I meant to be here🙏 A small detail my grandma is/was a famous in my community as a HEAD psychic, meaning you could never ask her to tell you anything nor pay her only when she saw something she will find you. Most of people she connected with were strangers and all is accurate. I remain to see mine. So far all I know is as I am writing this i feel a connection to whoever reading this.This is true story. Life is a privilege no matter what is your path. Live it and enjoy it. You only have one shot at it and it not meant to be easy and it is short. BE YOU AND SEEK NO APPROVAL. BE A TRUTH SOLDIER! Enjoy the rest of your amazing weekend!

❤... Thank you for sharing this! It has hit home with me, at the most timely moment, probably more than I can explain. Celebrating awesome memories with loved ones will hopefully improve all of our lives... worth our time to try anyway.
