Grandmother Lost

. . . . She kept examining her feet. I asked if she was alright and she said something quietly about having never noticed her toenails before.

    They are both quite content. Last time I asked my grandpa how he was liking it he said "its just fine, I think its great having these colored girls bringing me food all day" *sigh* Old people . . . gotta love em.
    She's happy too. Just glad to be with him thats all.

    i know i've commented pictures from this series before but i love going back and looking at them all. i can relate to the mini stories that go along with them since my grandparents seem to be a lot alike them. you do an amazing job capturing them in their natural state. my thoughts are with your family too.
