Catching Up with Grandma

I feel like I am really blessed because I still have one grandparent alive.  Unfortunately my spouse’s have all passed away, so my grandmother is the only great-grandparent that my children have.  For me, it makes spending time with her that much more important and I dread the day that she is gone.

Since I recently moved out of town, I have been making it a point to call her every week so that we can stay in touch.  Usually we talk for an hour or so, and we share what is new in our lives, chat a bit about her past and talk about my kids.  Strangely, moving out of town has made us that much closer and I look forward to our weekly talks.

We talked today for about an hour about the man that had come to her building to talk about the human growth hormone.  She told me that they had come to talk about the new HGH supplements that the local health store was going to carry and how it could benefit them.  She seemed pretty convinced that it sounded good, but she told me she was going to talk to her doctor first.

We also talked about the craft she made in her class as well as the great deal they had on toilet paper down at the supermarket.  All in all it was nice to chat with her – it reminds me of how much I really miss her.
