My grandma, I love her so much and I call her every week. When I was in higher institution in my state, mama made sure I didn't starve. She gave me money and food. Now, she's in her 80s, I make sure she doesn't lack at all. She's on my payroll. God please keep my grandma for me to see her great-grand children from me in Jesus name! Amen

hmmn! My granny calls me weekly or at two weeks interval. Funny enough, I cooked for her on the first day of Ramadan. She always wants me around. I've been her pal since like five years ago and still counting.

Grandpa, I lost his contact. I cherish visiting him more than calling. He raised me up though... I was with him through-out my secondary school days. He's jovial and always wants Opeyemi to pay him a visit once in every month at least.

It's good to cherish and take care of them now. Who knows what might happen tomorrow?

I pray they both live long enough to reap the fruits of their labour... Amen

The last one (maternal grandma) walked to her grave last year.. I wonder how these old people get to see their deaths before it happens. shocked Mama danced and danced with her grandkids that morning and told them not to leave the house that day because she will be going to "Jerusalem" later that day and wants them to see her off, everybody laughed about it and went about their normal activities. Later that day, after taking her bath she sat down to eat and that was it, she started talking in our language saying "Jesus has come to take her home...." She died sitting, with food in her mouth. Continue to RIP mama..

Loooool my grandmama doesn't even want to learn how to use the feature phone I bought her, I'm just imagining her with a smartphone... she would use it to hold open the window grin grin


BTW, to anyone looking for a phone with STRONG battery life: I bought her a BLU phone, model "Tank"

It lasts for DAYS AND DAYS WITHOUT CHARGING. I bought one for myself, my mom, my dad, and my boyfriend as backup phones
It looks like this:

the only one alive does not have a phone and even if she does communication would be close to impossible since we don't understand eachother's language.

So unfortunate they left without their phones to the great beyond. Since then all effort to give them a shout out proves abortive... Hmmmm.

Elliotwiz1: the only one alive does not have a phone and even if she does communication would be close to impossible since we don't understand eachother's language.

My grandmother doesn't speak English well, and I don't speak my language well either. But we still love hearing each other's voices. At least learn how to say the basics, so you can hear the joy in her voice.

Usually I use my mother as a translator. She whispers the translation in my ear, and I repeat it. Hahaha my mama thinks I'm fluent, but then I'm mute when I see her in person grin

So I just sit really close to her and we smile at each other happily. Love has no language.
