Legacy...

Sadly... My 95 yr old gran has had two strokes and got pneumonia and is in hospital. Its not looking good... She's had an amazing life. 9 children, 19 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren is a huge legacy. And we are all still connected and in touch. A huge, but close family which revolves around her. She's lived through countless wars and technological innovation as well as watching her own husband of 50years and her eldest son die. I don't know if I could make it to 95 after all that. Even with me being 37, to be on the verge of losing someone who's been there your whole life, and the whole life of every family member, is very sad.

95 years of reality?

My gran is 95. Shes seen planes, cars, iPods, tv, Internet etc all arrive in her lifetime. It's no wonder it's hard for some old people to keep a grip on reality. The world is no longer the place they grew up in, or recognise.

Family Matters

Coming from a very, very big family it’s very easy to forget that they are always there, even when you are not thinking of them. And then when a massive family get-together occurs you realise that the safety net they provide is still there no matter whether you have thought about it or not. During your day to day life, it is always in place, always ready to catch you if you should fall. Cousins, particularly, who have known you all your life, and who live their own lives just as you do, bridge the gap between family life and the real world. Always there in the background like friends who you dont see but who you can rely on. Family does matter.
