Excerpts from www.givesmehope.com partly because i don't feel like writing any of my own stuff and also because these made me feel all warm inside.

My grandma is sick and can't control her body. While mentally alert, she is often treated like a child. My grandpa and I were running to the grocery store when suddenly he turned around and drove all the way back home. When I asked him why he said "I forgot to Kiss your grandma goodbye". GMH.

My grandmother has been very sick for a long time, and my grandpa is with her every day helping her through it. Then the other day she asked me to sort through her pictures and i came across a bunch of notes she saved. It turns out my grandfather writes her notes everyday telling her how much he loves her and how grateful he is to have her. he GMH.

At my college graduation everyone is allowed to take a loved one with them as they walk across the stage. The last girl to walk across held the arm of her 90 year old grandpa. As they crossed the stage the chancelor read her grandfathers name. He graduated 60 years ago but didn't get to walk his own graduation because he was fighting in WWII. GMH.

Yes, you're probably wondering why they all involve old people. I adore old people. I have my grandma and grandpa to thank for that.

"When I was a kid my Mum and Dad used to have big arguments. I used to get told off a lot of the time when I couldn't stop crying (I kept on doing those little hiccups you do when you try to stop but you can't). For all those nights they yelled at me, my Grandma told my parents to leave me alone. She let me sleep in the same bed with her and Grandpa. I love them so much. Their kindness GMH."
