Grandparents

More and more everyday, I realize how lucky I am that the three grandparents I have left are in good health and still able to get around pretty well. Most of the people I know that are my age have either lost all of their grandparents or their grandparents are no longer able to take care of themselves.

I lost my Grandpa Gus in 1996 from complications to his cancer recovery, but Grandma Mary, Grandpa Manuel, and Grandma Rachel are all still here and I am so thankful that I can still visit with them (although I don't visit with them as often as I would like to) and talk to them about what's new. Grandpa is turning 80 next month, which is so hard to believe. For me, he stopped aging in his 60's. Grandmas did too. I know they aren't going to be around forever, none of us are, but I'm glad I still have them around right now.
