I guess it could be worse...

in TTC After a Loss

We live with my 86 year old grandma, but she is a young, healthy active 86. I was whining to her about all the baby stuff I've been getting in the mail lately-how the formula and diaper coupons sting.

So she told meshe gets coupons in the mail for wheelchairs, hearing aids, and worst of all-cremation. Dang. I guess that's worse!

    Amazing how one thing can put it all in perspective, huh?  Go grams for being 86 years old!  None of the women in my family have lived past 65!  Cherish her!

    She is, I love her. I said, "I hope those coupons don't expire." and she said: "You have to expire before they expire."

    Grandma's are awesome!! 

    I will admit I've gotten AARP fliers in the mail and DH even got a cemetary pamphlet.  I don't think we need those yet!!!!

    Grandma does have a point.  She must be fun to be around, it sounds like she does a good job trying to comfort you.
