My lovely Grandma

Well, as I've previously written, I was in the UK and part of that trip was to spend time with Grandma. My Grandma is very important to me, she's my last surviving grandparent and my earliest memories include her. She's been a part of my life always, she's been there for the fun times and also for the hard times, never judgemental, always supportive and understanding, a true friend in every sense and I miss her terribly every day and wish that I was able to see her more often. She lived through the second world war with Grandad 'in the army', raised three kids and didn't have the easiest of lives. She looked after Grandad for many years and after he died she coped brilliantly and always loved to have people drop in on her at '230' (230 Watling St) a.k.a. "Aud's Caff" (she cooked up a mean egg and chips!). She hung in there, kept house, cooked healthy meals, lost her son Mike to cancer, looked after dear little Aunty Sylvia (her sister) until she had to go into Beth Ezra but eventually her age and health caught up with her and she is now in Beth Ezra (sadly without Aunty Sylvia anymore). So Grandma is now the star of Beth Ezra, she's 'carpet bowls champ'!!, loves every minute of every day, joins in everything, really enjoys being 'pampered' and having her meals made for her, her hair done, etc. She's enjoying life! These photos are of Grandma, me and Mum on Grandma's 90th! So, to finish, "Carpe Diem", 'sieze the day', you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Appreciate loved ones and life now!
