call my grandmothers more often (read all 22 entries…)
I called her!! 3 months ago

I talked to both of my grandmothers today-yay!!!
I noticed one of my grandmothers called (on my cell) and so I called her back. We talked for about 10 minutes.

Just a few minutes ago I called my other grandmother (sweetest woman ever) and had a wonderful conversation with her. She told me all about how she is so grateful for her wonderful set up (the place where she is living) and how all of her needs are taken care of and she couldn’t ask for anything more.

She did mention how people don’t call as much as you think they would. She also told me many times how wonderful it was to hear my voice and that I could call her any time I need anything.

It was wonderful to talk with her and it makes me sad to know that she is lonely especially since she is a very social and gracious person who attracts people….even that kind of person can end up totally alone. I am going to do my best to call her once a week. I would like to call her every other day…or every day….lets see what I can do. I know that I am one of her favorites (not to brag!) and I think that maintaining our friendship could be really good for both of us.

Me too:)

It’s so important. IT now needs to be one of the most important things to me. I have two grandmothers over 90.

this time with them – you are so very very lucky to be able to pick up the phone and talk.

My Grandmother has been gone two years now and I still miss making her laugh. She was always so very proud of me and loved to hear about anything I was doing. Knowing I had someone who looked forward to hearing about all the little details somehow made my boring, daily life seem exciting.

Weekly calls are good, as is sending a card or article – something that lets them know you’ve been thinking of them.

You won’t regret this goal.

I really need to do the card thing. Maybe that’s what I will do today. Get some cards, put stamps on them and get them ready to send.
My Grandmothers will love it and ..it will help her know people care, even when she can’t remember if someone called her or not. She will have physical evidence! :)

they will!

when my Grandmother passed, we discovered she’d saved everything I had ever sent her – all the way back to when I was a small child…
