6 years takes it's toll

May 2, 2010 filed under family | 5 Comments

I can’t believe the difference that only 6 years can make.

I read my mom’s blog post that she wrote yesterday about my grandmother. I now have tears in my eyes.

It was Granny Sylvia’s birthday yesterday, and she’s living in a home in Somerset West. When I saw her 18 months ago, she didn’t recognise me at all. She had no idea who I was. **I can’t actually believe it was so long ago that I went to CT, jeez! Just realised as I typed that sentence! I have to do something about that!**

Just as my mom wrote in her blog post, I won’t remember my granny the way she is now. To me, she’s a free spirited lady who always dressed impeccably and was always ready for action. I remember her playing tennis and bridge and doing flower arranging and loving life. I’ll always remember the birthday where she wanted to go white water rafting down the Zambezi, but went on a trip to London on her own instead.

And this photo that I took from my mom’s blog says it all… mucking in with playing with Bradley…
