One grandmother died when I was 9. The other one was a total bitch and died in 2006.

When I was a kid I used to hang out with other people's grandmothers.

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 25 February 2008 22:56 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, that last line was meant to take the tang off the first but I think it just drenched the whole thread in pathos. Sorry.

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 25 February 2008 22:56 (eighteen years ago)

My grandma came over today so we could have lunch and I could go put gas in her car.

Kerm, Thursday, 28 February 2008 21:06 (eighteen years ago)

I've got one grandparent left, my 84-year old grandmother who lives in Memphis. Here are some of her greatest hits:

Man rear-ends her car
HER: Are you drunk?
HIM: Maybe a little...?
HER: Well you better get out of here; the cops will be here any minute!

Complaining about the mess in her house as guests visit after my grandfather's funeral
HER: G.P. would just die if he saw all of this!

Eating strained carrots at Picadilly's
HER: Why, these are some of the best sweet potatoes I've ever had?

Getting lost on her way to Jack LaLane do a fitness demonstration
HER: Can you tell me how to get to the downtown Holiday Inn?
GAS STATION CLERK: Well, do you know how to get back to Memphis?

i got to kick it with her one last time, three weeks ago today. she was starting hospice that weekend so we both knew it'd probably be the last time we saw each other. she had all her marbles, so she could crack jokes and share memories and ask you about your life. not a bad way to kick it with grandma one last time.

she finally passed on this morning, and was comfortable and peaceful to the end. she would have been 92 next month.

i love you grandma! hope you're up there kicking it with grandpa!
