When I first became a step grandma I was only 32 and our last child was born 6 months later, so I preferred to be called Grandma Geri! I just didn’t feel old. 😅 As time went on, finally after many years, some grandkids started calling me Graham cracker or Grams and I loved that!
Somehow recently it’s evolved into grandma, which I don’t mind now, but I still don’t feel old!
In June and September, as two of our young grandsons got married, and were walking me down the aisles to my seat, I certainly didn’t feel like the typical little old lady grandma! Very strange, but I got misty eyed each time for sure. ❤️❤️
I’ve learned that most people think of themselves as younger than they are; well at least when they are not trying to get up out of a chair! I think that I’m not a day over 38 in my head, but achy legs & other body parts tell me otherwise.
How about you? How old are YOU in your head? Never fear though, 70 is the new 50 & I’m enjoying this new decade with all its surprises and you will too!
Call me grandma if you want to, just don’t call me old! 😂
