You'd imagine that the age difference would forge a distance, but it doesn't, so that all through obnoxious teens often it's our grans that get the best out of us. I'm glad you were able to find some laughter in the day though, i expect your gran would have liked to konw that.A Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933820566793650208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-76949180727948652652008-11-25T21:36:00.000+00:002008-11-25T21:36:00.000+00:00Frog, What a brilliantly written post.

We were at one last weekend (the Doctor's granny) and there were several nearly-rows, comedy moments (eg. the Doctor's aunt's face when someone she didn't know turned up with a baby in a pram) and a near disaster (over-enthusiastic brother in law setting off fireworks afer the wake and narrowly missing scarring his daughter for life...). All in all, a stressful time for all - but a fitting send off for a granny who always caused her fair share of family dramas.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-57674422326013420502008-11-20T12:46:00.000+00:002008-11-20T12:46:00.000+00:00I'm very sorry for your loss Frog - I was brought ...I'm very sorry for your loss Frog - I was brought up by my Grandparents and am dreading the day I will have to say goodbye.
