My wonderful Nan passed away 25 years ago and Mum is in care now.
This photo takes me back and reminds me of all the wonderful times I shared with them.
Shopping, going to the cinema to see ‘Oliver’… the list goes on, and on…

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

Thank you, Fuji! Sadly, Mum has Alzheimer’s and her communication is scrambled as she peers at us as though trying to remember. We will never know how much she is aware but she does respond to smiles and loves children and animals. I was so lucky to have my four grandparents and great-grandmother for my early childhood. All very, very special 🙂
They both look lovelier in their red outfits, Sandra. You are lucky to have had them both.

Sadly, Mum has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t understand any more but she would have been thrilled to see her photo with her mother on the internet! Mum was always very supportive of my writing ?
You’re welcome. ?
Sandra, that’s one glorious happy picture you have posted of your Mum and Nan. It’s a wonderful reflection of your love for them, I know they are as proud of you, as you are of them. It will always be reflected in your writing too ?.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleThank you, Eric. I’m loving this memories event. I’m searching through so many old photos and reliving things I hadn’t thought about for awhile. Of course, the housework is a bit neglected but it will still be there tomorrow 🙂 Grandma, my Dad’s mother, was wonderful too, and she had a lovely red cardigan. When she died, (sadly buried on my 18th birthday) Mum and I were thrilled that the florist made… Read more »
I am sure you will treasure these memories so much. They look so happy and I’m sure you must miss your nan. It has been a rollercoaster of a year, so I hope that you have managed to see your mum (I can only imagine how hard it will have been).
Thank you, Daisy, and yes, it has been more difficult over the past year. My parents live 300kms away and Dad has done a wonderful job looking after Mum for as long as he could until she needed full time care but in the past few months we’ve realised he is now in the earlier stages of dementia. Combined with covid, his frustration, especially when he wasn’t able to visit Mum, has… Read more »

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleI am really sorry. It must have been even more difficult this year. I send my love to you and your family. My great grandmother has also got dementia and lives 2 and a half hours away so I can relate in some ways. I hope that the future will hold some easier times for you and for us all.
Beautiful picture Sandra, and they share the same smile. Life can be so unfair sometimes in the different ways it steals the ones we love. I’m so glad you have so many happy memories to hold in your heart.
Thank you, Carrie. This photo was taken outside their church on Sunday morning, a familiar sight from my Sunday school days. I’m a lapsed church-goer but when I look at the photo I can also remember many of the members of the congregation, some passed but a few live in the same retirement village as my Dad.
