The Only Grandma

Jennifer, I am glad that you had the good experience with some wonderful grandmothers and have an adopted grandmother now. Our nursing homes here used to have adopt a grandmother. The children in some organizations of the church or in Scots would pick a name then go see these ladies and do things for them. Sometimes it worked out really well and sometimes not so good. Thanks for stopping by. Sara

Michelle, I know you would have enjoyed having a grandma but alas some of us did not get to experience it for ourselves. Thanks for the visit and sharing and wishes of good luck. Sara

Chuck, I am glad that you had a great relationship with your grandmother and hold those memories dear. I can just feel it in your comment. Thanks for stopping by. Sara

Andrea, My memories are about the mother who adopted me when I was 18 months old. Her mother was deceased. She died of cancer at a somewhat young age. My adoptive father's mother had dementia. She was not up doing things with grandchildren when I came along. I remember her and she was kind to the children but she was just an onlooker. Sara

Andrea, No, I did not have memories of a grandma because my mother's mother was deceased and my father's mother had dementia. I am basing my memories on my adoptive mother who had a grandson when they got me then four years later had a granddaughter. She did a lot of kind things for her grandson and her children as long as she was able to cook. I have a few memories of my biological paternal grandmother. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Belle, Thanks for the kind review of my work. Yes, most of the time a woman and some men have this character but some women don't at all. Sara

SO, Well, I am sure not all the time. LOL..We all have our bad moments. Thanks for dropping by with an encouraging word. Sara

Susan, Your presence here is very uplifting. I appreciate the time reading and commenting on my work. Sometimes it is good to remember. Sara

SS, I am glad that we chose the same picture. I think that maybe says we think alike. Although, I did like the picture or artist rendition of the Scottie dog. He looked so comfy lying on that couch. Thanks for dropping by. Sara
