EPTI listened to this song like 15 times while I wrote this so maybe you should while you read it.
I think most grandchildren would say that they didn't get to spend long enough with their grandparent.
The relationship is a few decades long at most and at the start you're too young to remember anything for later on.I didn't know my Grandmother as long as most people in this room did. But I was still lucky, because not many grandchildren can say they lived 3 doors down from their grandmother, until I went to university last month my grandmother was an almost daily part of my life.
She stayed remarkably active for a woman of her age. Most days she would take my sister to school and her weekly activities included going on walks, to art exhibitions, and to plays and films, although I don't know if she ever managed to stay awake for the complete duration of a film; I never saw it happen. I was lucky enough to hear about her life almost every day, and she could hear about
mine, even though it involved a lot less activity than her own.
We discussed the recent news and topics, everything from the American election to the latest Tennis results, to what we'd watched on TV the night before. I lived close by enough to listen to and help with her almost weekly struggles with her television, computer and printer, and when the rest of my
family went away on holiday I was always welcome to eat at hers, even when I grew up and didn't need to stay the night I enjoyed being able to with her talk over dinner.
My grandmother meant so much to so many people and we're all going to miss her so much. They say losing a loved one is like losing part of yourself, but to me in losing my grandmother I've also lost a part of my day.
