Grandma Nielsen

This is my grandma Nielsen. She is my only living grandparent right now. When I went to St. Johns for the fair I was able to go over and spend a lot of time with her. I love going to her house. We can sit and visit forever. She always gives me recipes that she has all in her head. Her house feels so cosey and warm. I believe that she told me she is 93. She has been having a hard time lately with her shoulders. They have been giving her a lot of pain and keeping her up at night. I know that she misses my grandpa more than anything and just wants to be with him again. It makes me sad thinking that her life may be coming to a close. My grandparents have been such a big influence in my life. I know I am being selfish when I want her to stay around a lot longer. I love that she calls me on the phone just to talk. I wish that I were closer so I could spend more time with her. Her mind is amazing....she remembers all of her grandkids and great grandkids names and there are a lot of them! She still makes her bed every morning and lives alone. I hope that my mind is as good as hers is when I am her age. I love her so much and cherish the time I get to spend with her!
