My grandma cracked me up

Next week is my grandma's big 8-0. We were talking the other night and she was like, "you know, I wasn't upset at 50, or 60 or 75. But 80 is such a terrible number. I mean.....80, wow. I'm not 80. And just so you know, I don't plan on getting to 90." She's in fine health and is more active than any 16 yr old I know. I told her that she shouldn't talk like that and she winked at me and told me if she can't be traveling and out and about, then life sucks.

I didn't tell her that her hitting 80 is huge for me too...meaning I just want to give her a great-grandchild. I was a complete and utter grandma's girl (to both) I was her only grandchild for years and when the next two came around, they were out of state, so I got her all to myself every friday night growing up. It makes me sad to even contemplate life without her. But...enough of that...her life inspires me and all I want to do is celebrate with her!

    Aw thats sweet.  I wish I had had a grandma. My moms mom died when I was a year old, she was 58.  My dads mom died in 1996, but I never really knew her. Never had granddads.  I'm so glad you have her!

    I completely understand... my great-grandmother turned 97 this year and for the past ten years she always says how this is probably her last (enter holiday name in here). I always get sad, when she talks like this.  I too want to give her another (she has 3 already from my cousins) great-grand baby!  I see her interaction with them and they take generation pictures every year... I am happy that my cousin's children get to have a picture with her, I just hope that everything works out and one day it will be my children on her lap

    I really am incredibly blessed to have them both. I don't really know my paternal grandfather and my maternal grandfather (80 yr old grandma side) died when my mom was 9. I only really know my paternal step-grandpa, but they live 1800 miles away, sniff sniff.
