I am a grandma and soon to be great grandma (omg!) and will be 68 at the end of the year. All of a sudden I feel and realise I look old(er)! I 'm a very active grandma (two older gc too when they needed it) looking after a lively 6yr old charming grandson regularly - school runs/tea with grandma/ lots of crafty busy days. (This is "what you are here for" apparently). I am busy with a hobby of sewing attending a lively weekly class quilting. (I look after my husband (50 years married soon) who is waiting for a big heart operation next week - having had a heart attack 11 months ago. I have three adult sons so am marginally involved with them and their partners. Those six adults never phone to see how me/their father is but I know I could rely on them in an emergency. (I do all the family dinners/entertainment). I have NEVER EVER been a needy person/wife/mil/grandma and am proud "I can do it myself". I am feeling tired b and old and am sad when I look in the mirror and see how worn I look. I have always been upbeat and positive (my grandchildren call me Turbo Grandma!) and I keep up to date with life and try to fill every minute. I am just a bit sad now that I am looking tired and jaded when inside I am still 21! I know I should be glad I am fit and healthy which enables me to look after other people but I am a bit sad that no one ever thinks to ask how I am/how I am coping with an unwell husband. Am I turning into an old grump too?
How do you acknowledge Easter.
