LOL sometimes grandma's aren't too grandma-like. At one point in their lives they were young and pretty too
My mom came from a large family and I asked my grandma why did she have so many kids. Her reply "I just liked doing it with your grandfather too much... and before we knew it, there was another baby"
My grandma is 94 (and unfortunately in hospice care right now). My grandpa died last Christmas just shy of his 96th birthday. He’s never had a filter, but my grandma is a more reserved Catholic woman. They had 9 kids. Only 6 were actually my grandma’s. My grandpa had 3 kids from a previous marriage, but his first wife died a few days after giving birth to their third child. One day, about a year ago, one of my sisters jokingly asked my grandpa why he had so many kids. He just laughed and said that he couldn’t help it, sometimes he’d wake up and grandma was already down there helping herself.
They were the greatest couple I’ve ever known. A love that was truly special. And they loved their 50+ kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and great great grandkids fiercely. My grandpa was a larger-than-life character, and a great example of a good man. While I’m not religious, my grandma perfectly exemplified God’s love. A woman of faith with no hate, only love. She is currently dying. When she is gone, something special will be lost, but she will forever live on through the love that she shared.
Thank you. She’s never alone. With the previously mentioned 50+ children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren, she will be surrounded by loved ones until she passes. And then we’ll all celebrate her life together once she does.
