spend more time with my grandparents

I had fantastic grandparents. They were smart, interesting and very enjoyable people who taught me many things about life. Unfortunately they have all passed away now, and I miss them very much.

My grampa comes over and spends some time with me and the kids. Not a lot, but enough to where my babies recognize him and I’m so happy that I’ve moved close enough to see my grandparents as much as I do now. :)

they wont be around forever…

i got to spend a whole week with my grandparents not too long ago. it felt like old times again, and I even learned new things re: my great grandparents which was interesting.

and see them pretty much every day, but now we moved and only see them once a week, which is still heaps, but i mean it feels like i hardly see them anymore.. they’ve been such a big part of my life since i was a baby, i wouldnt cope if anything happened to them..

and they’re genuinely happy whenever i’m there so i’m glad i spend more time with them now.

i’ve been visitng them much more often lately and they seem to be really happy each time i’m there! althugh my grandpa seems to be feeling much worse these days, which worries me a lot :(

parents were gone for a week so me and my sis drove out to the gmas and she made us dinner and we spent the afternoon talking eating laughing etc ;) now jus half to accompany the g-parents in florida…or at least conversate on the phone for more than a half hour.

well im lucky to have younger grandparents at 20 years old but time is flying by so fast at 20 it seems like the only time i see or talk to them is on holidays and i def dont want just that ! i need to start conversating and spending more time with them. they have done alot for me and i need to show more respect! after all i do love them .. LaterS ;)

i haven’t done much about it. it’s not that i don’t like spending time with them, but i never find the time… which is bullshit, cause i’ve got plenty of time. so from now on i’ll visit them at least once in 2 weeks for 2 hours. this sounds like i’m forcing myself to see them, but it’s not true. i just want to make this goal a bit more specific so i can stop pretending i don’t have time for my own family.

also, my grandparents always ask me to give them a picture of myself, but i don’t really have any cause i hate being photographed. they’ve got pictures of their other granchildren (my brother and my cousin) framed, but the pics are quite old now. so i’m going to take a picture of each grandchild (including myself) and then frame them together and give it to them :)
