Ever since I became a grandmother 18 years ago – two boys, cousins, now 18 and 14 – I have been utterly fascinated with many aspects of the role. I even interviewed 28 grandmothers about it and put passages from the interviews into a book, Celebrating Grandmothers: grandmothers talk about their lives. I still write about it from time to time in my Substack.
I love this! Yes, grandparents back in our day were so different to now. They were old-old at 60, or even before! What a beautiful, happy little boy. Bless him. Wishing you many more treasured moments together. XX
... I observe that the mature roses in my garden are the most treasured and exquisitely perfumed. I was just going to leave this as a message but then gazing at my Elastigirl (bought ofc at a Carboot) you remind of that great superhero from The Incredibles, Helen Parr whose abilities are "Superhuman elasticity, Shapeshifting"! Go "Elastigirl Grandmother Rose"! Go Girl!!! And, thank you for your constant gut honest sharing... XXX
