I'M SORRY GRANNNY I KNOW MY ACTIONS SHORTENED YOUR LIFE TO ONLY 105



 GRANNY'S CONSTANT PRAYER
“Oh good lord!” My grandmother’s standard reply whenever I acted foolish. Though she counted what was foolish according to age, why she always prayed to God for my actions was beyond me. It was prayer; sure as hell I knew she wasn’t talking to me in her exasperation. I wonder what she’d be saying now.

    Pshaw! It was probably you kept her going as long as she did - at least she wasn't going to die of boredom... ;)

    She's just in you mind now, Mark.

    But all the same, you know you never fool your grandmother. :)

    Sheesh, never thought of that. Granny must have worn through a couple of sets of rosary beads by now.

    Everything passes as we age. Grandma remains.

    I wish so much that I'd known any of my grandparents. For sure they would have been moaning about some of my actions! :)
