Thanks for suggestions

My grandmother has again rallied and is back out of the hospital. But she will be 98 at the end of this month, and I know loosing her is immenant. Now every day that I get to have with her is truly a gift. But I am ready to let her go. She's still as sharp as ever, but quality to life greatly diminished. She's doing a lot of reminiscing and it's just so wonderful to hear all those stories one more time.

We were talking about inventions one time and I asked my grandmother what she felt was the most significant invention. Her response: wax paper, because then she could take her sandwiches to work and they did not get stale! I will forever remember that conversation every time I use wax paper!! My son is also greatly enjoying this time with her. He loves hearing about life in the "olden days".
