Been missing my grandparents lately…

I remember playing Battle and Rummy and other card games with my grandparents when I was as young as 5 or 6 years old.

I played the same shite with my grandparents


Are we cousins????

I miss the times being a kid at my grandparents house… My grandmother always had treats for us..

I also miss being a kid, this adult shite sucks…

I have a recurring dream from time to time where by Granny comes and see's me and tells me that everything will be ok and to trust my instincts. Every time I have this dream, there is something in the coming days where I will be put in a spot.

I miss her dearly.

My maternal grandmother was in incredible lady. When I stayed with her I would get up at 5a to help her with breakfast and farm chores, she would tell me about the old days. She was a survivor.

I wish I'd have really known my grandparents. I am the youngest on both sides of the family born to the youngest of their families, so my grandparents were dead or pretty old by the time I had the ability to form lasting memories. All I have are stories and pictures. By all accounts they were great people, but I'll never know them.

I’m a bit jealous reading about everyone’s grandparents, never really knew any of mine, but happy for those of you who did.

My family apparently likes to have kids young because I remember my grandparents being in their 40's. I was 12 when one of my grandmother's turned 50. One of my great grandmothers died when I was 8 and the other one when I was in my 30's. We used to do family get-togethers and one year, my 60 year old great grandmother is playing kickball with us. My dad's parents had a total of 26 grandchildren and didn't miss anything for any of us.

I spent many summers at my grandparents. Mainly cutting grass and painting but I'd go back to that in a heartbeat.

I played all those games with my Granny and marbles. I used to love playing marbles with her and of course she always had the treats.
She also had no room for misbehavior. She was the oldest of 10 siblings and helped raise all of them along with raising my mom and aunt, had seen and done it all. She could really put the hammer down. Had zero tolerance for some nonsense!

I grew up 0.8 miles from grandparents. Would run to their house almost every day during the summer, swim in their pool, and hang out all day. Really miss those days. At least my grandma is still around. We had a great Mother's Day weekend at her house.
