I had the good fortune to be able to be with both my parents when they were dying. I got to hear the Depression survival and WWII stories of both my parents and It was, and will remain a benefit that I know many people are not afforded.
Four of your choices I have already read.....(I spend a lot of time dancing around the Twitters) but I will make sure to read the others.
GB left me with this "life" nugget when she turned 90. Not sure why it resonated with me so deeply but it changed me profoundly. She looked at me and paused, stuck her index out and bounced it up and down, and with the cadence of her words she said, "you know.... everything works out"!
She was right.... lets leave the small stuff where it is.
So nice you could be there with your grandma. You are very fortunate and it sounds like she is too.
That's a great line. My twist on it is this: "It's the year 2021, and I keep the internet at arm's length, giving the data trackers, algorithms and hidden manipulators very little to feed on. This is also an admission of defeat."
Godspeed to your Grandmother 🙏

Hey Charlie,
Wonderful to see you.... here's a bit more about Grandpa I wrote in 2012.... he sure would have loved knowing you are in the "Big Sky". http://aconventionallife.blogspot.com/2012/02/hands.html
