I have been very lucky enough to have the most amazing
grandmother. Her advice and guidance is what has gotten me to where I am today.
If there is something that I need to know, advice or just plain telling me like
it is, I can always turn to my gran.
I have always thought that the older people get the more
stories they tell about how when they were my age they did this and they did
that, and I want to cringe every time because it is boring and I have no time
to listen. But the older I get, the more those stories make sense and almost
every story old people tell, there is some moral to the story or some good
advice. What people at our age don’t realise is that older people, like my
gran, have been through life and they know what they are talking about. They
have been through their ups and downs and most probably have learnt from it and
have some good knowledge on how to handle the situation or how to deal with it.
I have so much respect for the older generation because what
we face today, they have all already faced. Maybe not exactly the same as times
have changed, but most things have stayed the same – morals, values and
beliefs.
My sister said something to me the other day, which is so true.
She said that grey hair isn’t a sign of aging and people who are getting
older(Like my dad- he would kill me right now) should not try to hide it
because grey hair symbolises that persons experiences and journey through life ,old
age is a natural process so just let it be.
I know my gran does not even know how to switch on a
computer and there is no way she even knows about blogging, but I would like to
just thank her for giving me the best advice ,wisdom and knowledge I have ever
received, without her I would not be the person I am today.
