The only visitors she has are me, who lives 2500 miles away, and another distant cousin Bob, who lives about 800 miles away. Neither of us get there very often. She never married or had children. She's still got all her mental capacity and I hope she dies before that goes.

I'm like you Suzanne I also used to think living a very long time would be amazing. My other grandmother died at 68 and I remember being very angry that she missed all the cool things in my life (my marriage, the birth of my children, my graduation from college) and while I still think 68 is way too young I appreciate that when she died she was still in prime condition doing all the things she loved and while most of the people she loved were still alive. It seems so disheartening to end up alone by the fact that you've outlived all your friends and alone by the fact that you can no longer hear or see or drive making your participation in life much more limited. Sad thoughts for the day :(Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631397995286703429.post-77789350450355747392015-11-06T06:31:27.873-08:002015-11-06T06:31:27.873-08:00That's a very sweet thought Susanne.
