Thank you everyone who’s written in with your condolences….
Grandmoms (and granddads too) are indeed great people…. And I suppose they have all the fun…. Been there, done that – no responsibility and lots of fun pampering and spoiling their grandchildren…. How many times has your mother said to you in exasperation – I am waiting for the day when you have kids of your own… So they can sit back and smirk…. Imagine Calvin’s kids, for instance… And the supreme satisfaction his parents would get if they turn out to be anything at all like him!
As for my paati, she was everything a nice old lady could be….. And my mother misses her most…. After thirty-five years of living with her post-marriage….. feels strange to live alone, she says 🙂
