Your grandmother sounds great.  I knew a woman like her.  She grew a 1/2 acre garden-full and fed her whole church congregation from it.  What a great rememberance on International Women's Day

Just found you.  I'm 54, but my first g-child is only 6 mo.  I used to teach kindergarten, but we moved to Billings Mt. and now I am substituting and writing.  Just got my first book published.  But the cruel news is that I have to do the promoting.  Hard, hard hard.

Hello Ladies this is my third day as a member and this is my ninth group. I guess I'm just excited to be here. At any rate I'm a new gramme and still learning the ropes of such a great position. However I don't have that many stories about my own grandchildren just yet but I do have wonderful stories about my own grandmother. She is a very important person in my life and gave me my greatest gift. She introduced me to Christ and He has been my strength all of my life. Now just a little quick story about my grandmother.

On September 15 2010 we celebrated my grandmother's 100th birthday. She still walks unassisted and teaches her senior citizen aerobics class. She has no real illness and has never been in the hospital except when she had her children. She cooks and takes care of many of her neighbors who are much younger than she in her senior living home. She lives alone and is very happy. She has taught a bible study class every Friday for over 50 years. She still sings in her church choir and just stop being one of the church nurses. At her party we spoke about these things and other great things that she has done. When it was her turn to speak she said the following" I'm really glad you all like me. I never thought I would live this long. I've lived so long that my grandchildren are now senior citizens"....ha,ha,ha got to love her she has told me so many stories that I would like to share with you. Someday I would like to write a book about her life. Her own grandparents were slaves....but that story is for another time.

Thank you Ladies for allowing me to be apart of this wonderful group

Hello, I have just joined and am looking forward to being here.

 

I go by G-Ma Johnson on all my writings I am 71 years old,the love of my life left me for a younger woman 4 years ago after 33 years together.  Hence the computer i fought for long has become a life saver for me.

 

I am totally new at writing, no lessons just write from the heart.

My 91 year old mother has Alzheimer's and is now in a very nice home just 5 minutes from where I live so I do see her most everyday...:O)

 

I have 7 grandchildren and 4 Great grandchildren, from the 3 children I have from my one and only marriage...

 

This is so exciting, I have written on Hubpages,on Treeprint and few others that folded...So Glad to meet everyone...here I am...and God Bless...G-Ma Johnson/Merle Ann :O) Hugs

Hi grandmothers. I am a virtual grandmother. That is, I write about a grandmother/granddaughter relationship but don't have any real grandchildren of my own. I'm very interested in the whole grandmother experience. The novel I'm writing is about a young girl and her relationship with her dead grandmother. She never met her, since the grandmother died before her daughter had children. I'd love to know about your own relationships with your grandmothers. Were they important in your life? Please share. Thanks.

Thinking of the role of grandmother or as I am known to our 8 of our grands, Gawni. This summer pushed me past any grandmother-models I may have held onto as I was simply our oldest grandson Shawn's important dynamic in his Eating Disorder Healing Process. Shawn is 19 and although he has seemed larger than life, who knew that for the past 13 years he has been a compulsive eater. He is a recent high school grad and as a working actor and singer, en route to Pace University on scholarship to polish his crafts. His father (our son Jason) passed away in 1997 and we made certain to stay connected to Shawn-what a delight he is. When we received a call from the famed Rosewood treatment facility to part of his family therapy week, we were shocked but of course, open and willing to be present.
Although I do not know what this will look like, this message is a beginning of a series that begs the question and could be titled, DO WE KNOW WHO OUR GRANDS REALLY ARE? That week proved to be one of the most amazing and equally horrifying time of my life. The depths of emotion and the heights of healing are now meshed into one~wholeness. In retrospect, along Shawn's path to wellness, I found my true self. to be continued~
Be Inspired,
Sharyn
