Grannies are very important members of our families. They can be a great help if we are busy and there is nobody at hand to help with little kids. They like to read books, play games and give extra sweets to their grandchildren.

Grannies know a lot of ways how to entertain and soothe kids. Home-made pies, cookies, ice-cream with jam, sweets seem to never end in your granny’s fridge. She is always ready to tell a new wonderful story about one little girl or one little boy, and you can easily understand that it was your big and strong Dad or your nice Mom. They are so big but for grannies they are just little kids. They are still those little Jack and Molly with dirty hands and torn trousers. They are ready to tell about their own childhood, and you think that that story is known by heart. Do not stop your granny; let her talk before she passes to the eternal land of silence… Be attentive to her. She needs attention, and nothing else. Your granny knows a lot but she is not strong enough, so be her strong arms or legs. Help her to move a heavy armchair to a more convenient place, give her a hand at the stairs, let her touch your face with dry hand, she wants to see you but as her eyes become blind, hands help her to understand changes in your appearance. Be patient with your granny.

Grannies Are Closing

Everyone, usually in his childhood, but often also being an adult, has grannies. You're lucky, if all of your parent's parents are alive. They are old people, who have seen and felt a lot in their life. They can give wise advices and tell you wonderful stories, they love you more that anyone in the world but they also are not strong enough and they need your help. Don't refuse to help them - it doesn't take a lot of your time and energy, but for them it's really much.
Take care about your grannies and don't allow them, for example, to carry heavy things. Their health is not as good as yours. Help them morally, too. It's a good idea to teach them how to deal with modern technologies. People with a lot of knowledge like them are great, when they can use computers to help others and do their own researches. It often helps to forget about your illnesses and feel again a young all-mighty man.
A lot of advices can be given, but you should follow the only advice. Just remember that one day you'll become old, too. It's difficult without your grandchildren, but it's a lot more difficult if they are, but treat you like you don't exist.
And how do you treat your grannies?
