That's life, as they say.

My grandad is ninety, and we think he'll be in the care home shortly.  I remember him in his 60s - being a brick layer all his left made him look tanned and strong.

It's tough to see people not how they were, but yeah, shit happens.  Speaking of that:

> and that drop of pee that sometimes appears out of nowhere even though you double dried the bastard.

that made me laugh out loud, only cause i'm suffering from the same shit these days!  ok, a few years haha 

Enjoy the ride, and remember to wipe that up before Bianca steps in it and gives you a bollocking!

Your grandmother has reached 90 years. But she still has a strong memory power. This is very rare. You are so lucky. You can also enjoy long life. Because you have the desire to enjoy a happy life. I  saw a picture of your mother at one of your posts. I liked it so much ... what else would I say? I like all of your posts written about life. I read it attentively. I think I got the power of life about your writing. <h3> Thanks @exyle sir</h3>

Oh oh, I wish your grandma a quick recovery... It's not easy for people her age to recall names, shows she's still on track somehow.
I never got the opportunity to meet my grand parents... You a lucky man sir @exyle.. Life is short so it's better to enjoy it while it lasts.. **smiles**

Oh yes,  very true of our sojourn on this earth and it better be memorable.  That is why I believe you should make yourself happy no matter what happens to you or the conditions you are.  You should not let any thing affect a pinch of your happiness.  Ultimate goal!

An excellent post. This is what we lack in our busy lives. Yeah we dont get a second chance. The sooner the better we realize this fact.

Life is all about cherishing these moments only memories last forever :) this was such a heart touching post :)

Congratulation!

Thank you.

yes, because chance only once then you have to do the best you can do right now, and be happy by doing the best

"double dried the bastard." epic :))) I hope you won't have to wear adult diapers when you're old :P

You do only get one shot in life. Make the most of it. And I will give you a bit of a guilt trip too. Go see your grandmother more often! She obviously misses you!

Hola! @Exyle como estas? espero que tu abuelita se recupere pronto, cariños y besos para todos desde la distancia.

such a joy it would be to spend time with her and learning all about the life experiences from her :)

effectively friend we only have one life and we must take care of it, doing a lot of work and above all doing things that make us happy.

This is a pretty good realization. At times, we always take things for granted and regret it when it's lost. Am happy that you spent some time with her. ^^

Lucky you! You reached your conclusion early!  You've got your one shot. You've got health and resources.  What ya gonna do?  Have a baby?  Well in retrospect it is what you lack.   Just sayin...

That's a very powerful story. Age kinda creeps up on you. I liked what your grandmother said about being grateful for the little things in life. It's true.

For me this is the sad part of story.
When we arrived in her room she remembered me but she admitted she couldn't remember my name.

It's not her fault, I'm sure it's mine. I should visit more often.

Friend very interesting the good is that you still have time to correct any thing past

I think we always feel a little guilt when we see a loved one in less than perfect health. Glad she has a good attitude. I think maybe you inherited that from her :)

I'm so glad I read this. It even made me tear up a bit. Thank you for that. 

I never thought about enjoying life as being selfish...or maybe I have a bit, and that's probably what stops some of my decisions. But I think if I make it to being old, it will still feel like I don't have enough time...that it all went too quickly. I feel like this is one of those moments that something switches in my brain and I see things a little differently now.

Indeed. I lost my grandpa few months ago and i still feel the void its left in my life. Watching his rocking chair lie empty and dust settle in his study

You could get hit by a meteorite tomorrow.  So plan for tomorrow, but live for today.  Make sure you have no regrets.

I just had a very similar conversation @exyle with my mum who is 87.

She also said the body failing is the worse part. She has really bad arthritis and is now finding it really  difficult to stand although she's better when she's moving. She had 2 falls last year and feels that was the main reason for the massive decline.

She also notices but has gotten used to the fact that you become invisible as you get older. I have noticed this too. People value your opinion less and talk over you. She has made her peace with that but it's pretty sad all the same.

You are right. it's important to enjoy your life as much as you can. But that's true at any age. it's worth doing those things now though that physically you will not be able to do at some point.

But I though you were doing pretty much want you wanted to do. i'm curious. What do you think you could be doing which would mean you enjoy your life more? If that's not too personal a question. 😁

I am sorry about your grandmother breaking her hips @exyle, and am happy for you haveing yours with you still. I never got the chance to meet any of my grand parents.

We only have one life to live, the best we can do is make it count for we shall pass the way but once.

I hope she gets better soon and go back home. Have a nice trip home too.

You are so lucky! At least you only had a couple of moments where life seemed a little nuts because I have that nutty feeling about life on a weekly basis.

I hope she heals soon 🍀
But i cant stop laughing you asked your dad to allow you do weed at home 😂

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story, we only get one shot and we must live it to the fullest. My parents a deceased and I miss them now and then, so it is very important to spend quality times with families and treasure the moments. They will be gone some day and we would like to look back and remember to moments of laughter and tears. 
Life is beautiful if lived the right way.

This has been on my mind lately, too. I'm mentally exhausted trying to convince a friend of mine she needs to do something with her life. And fast...
(I'm still wondering how did you end up talking about dporn with your grandmother!?)

I laughed at loud at imagening you receiving the permission for smoking joints in house, explaining dporn to your mom, and "that drop of pee". Your posts always make me laugh, thank you for that.

Your grandmother is a wise old lady. We should all be grateful for the small and big things alike, so that our life doesn't pass by while we were doing something else. : )

I wish I grew up to meet my grannies, unfortunately, I didn't meet any when I arrived on earth. Like you said, in life you only get one shot, make the best of it.

Just reading your post made me think of my aging father who was just in the hospital and seeing him getting older and physically slowing down, yet that has not dampen his spirits.  He is grateful for being alive and never takes anything for granted.  One thing he keeps telling me is you only get one life and you are not getting any younger so live life the fullest.  Thanks for sharing @exyle and sending well wishes to your grandma.  PS what is dporn?

Great story. Your grandmother is awesome @exyle

Damn right, it's too short to waste this life we have. 

You are lucky, I dont think I could even get close to explaining dporn to my mum :o)
