My Grandmother - My Superstar!



Back from the US and taking a break before U comes. Am at my dad’s place and my grandmom is here with us. 

She is my superstar - really. At 84, she is almost independent and does all her things without help. I first doubt if I’ll live till my 80’s (which I hope not), but if I do, I wonder if I’ll be so healthy and active.  

Some of my best childhood moments have been with my grandmom. When I look at her playing with S, I relive those moments. She is so good with S. He never leaves her room and is always with her – playing (endlessly), reading (a car book like a hundred million times), exchanging stories, laughing for silly nothings or just killing time. She transforms herself into a 3 year old, which is what makes him connect so well with her. Along with all this, she teaches him certain things in her own way. I wonder where she gets all this patience and stamina. i love this gen1-gen 4 bonding. Thank god for my grandmother – and thank god for all these times with her!
