God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
I wish. my grandmother never did that. I didn't find out until her funeral (when I was 33), from the older cousins, that before our grandfather died (when I was 4 months old), they were known as Grams and Gramps. after he died, it was GRANDMOTHER.
