Let's Leave Granny Home

She's slow as molasses, And really a pain. Let her stay home forever! We have nothing to gain. Taking a walker down the stairs? Is really something, we just can no longer bear! Worse is her hearing, deaf as a door nail! She won't be able to even read the menu. She can watch TV until she dies. Or a nice nursing home? She would be so surprised. It would be easier on all of us, don't you see? After all, she's very close to eternity! 7/3/2021

Ah yes, let's leave Granny home, or3 better yet find her a nice home for the elderly. Then we can be free of her and her pain and needy-ness. Great job here Pangrie. A subtle yet effective reminder that she took care of us when we needed her and now she needs us. Good stuff m friend. God Bless, JB

Judy! I do understand people forget their mothers. I also know some mothers were far from saints and hurt their kids. I was glad to take care of Mom her last years. It was Stressful but I got close to her. Some here lost their Moms when they were young. We cannot replace our Moms and pretend others are our Moms. Only one gave us life, Pangie HAPPY FOURTH XX

Darlene.nobody on earth has a lifetime. All we each have is 24 hours period. Live well, this day. My simple point was to respect the old as much as the young.The old are not furniture. They are human beings, Pangie xx
