Pickles by Brian Crane for May 04, 2016

Cherish your gramma’s love now Nelson as somedayshe will be gone and you will miss her greatly.

Especially that.

The greatest influence on my life, growing up, was my grandmother. I was closer to her than I was to her daughter ( my mother ) ar anyone else in the family.If I could be a fraction of the guide and role model for my grandchildren, as she was for me, I would be thrilled.

My grandmother raised me. I was 8 when I moved in with her and grandpa.

Opal spends most of her time knitting and crocheting.

I’ve got letters from Grammy that are 60-65+ years old. . .

@beviek: agree. Nelson’s really lucky—a grandmother who writes notes to him, and a grandpa who talks with him. . .

One of my grandsons doesn’t like me talking to him or singing along with his cartoons…… He may not like it now, but I bet he always remembers. And one day it will be his turn to be a grampa, if he is lucky.

I still have all the letters and cards my grandmother ever wrote to me. Now that she is gone, I am so glad I kept them. I will cherish them for the rest of my life.

Awww. That’s lovely.xxx

So does Earl ever get any love letters?

You people are all very lucky to have had grandparents as I never knew any of mine. The had all died before I was born.

Ahhh. Nice, I envy all the people who knew their grandparents, I was not so lucky!

Just yesterday, I asked my 81-year-old Grandma about HER Grandma, and she had so many kind and treasured memories. I love Pickles, but please do not imply that love notes from a Grandmother are the product of idleness…

Nothing like love from Gramma!
