to hear about your Grandma. I lost my Poppa about 15yrs ago to cancer, it still hurts. He was the only decent man in my life when I was a child. He was so young (only 63) when he died. Many of my younger cousins who were born after he had passed really missed out on meeting such a wonderful man. I have many treasured memories of him, like going to the farm and milking the cows, going for a hay ride, learning to drive the tractor, picking vegies straight from the patch, you know stuff like that. Then as he got sicker I would sit and rub his feet and talk for hours, that was a really special time for me. I think when you are faced with a dying loved one it is important to listen to them. It can be hard talking about dying with them but I think that it needs to be acknowledged, a friend's dad who was dying kept getting pissed off at his wife cause she wouldn't admit what was happening to him, she kept saying he would beat it and he knew he wouldn't. He didn't feel like she was listening to him and their last few months together were really tense as a consequence. Families need to pull together at times like that.

The flip side of that, my Grandmother on my other side of the family just turned 90. We had a party with close friends and family and for a present my dad hired a camel for the afternoon. It was a scream watching this tiny little elderly woman (only 5ft if that) getting on this huge camel and going for a ride. She was pretty drunk by this stage and kept giving us a wave like the Queen while she was riding. We were all terrified she would fall off!!! The photos are funny, that is a memory we will all treasure after she is gone, which hopefully won't be for a very very long time.
