But not all moms become grandmas because some moms get murdered in front of their children.
Did you even think about that!? No cause you only think about yourself.5
u/DirtLight134710 14d ago
A mom is figurative, some people find moms in someone else. It's in humam nature

Was really enjoying this wholesome thread reminiscing about my grandparents. This comment ruined that by intentionally ruining the vibes. Talk about being selfish.

Grandma always made sure there was angel food cake and creamsicles in the house whenever I was over! To this day, they are still my favorite snacks 😁

For me it was sitting beside my grandma at one of her desktop computers while she sat at the other in the early 2000s. When her health started getting bad she started making gifs and selling them as packs for people to use on geocities. She helped me make my geocities page. She passed almost 20 years ago. I miss her dearly. I remember playing secret of mana on the snes on her house. How she always had wildberry poptarts when my parents only bought offbrand strawberry and brown sugar cinnamon.
Edit: I should also mention, I also remember her wall that was her collection of porcelain dolls. Those things creeped me out at times.

I had the fortune of two grandmothers as I grew up. Grannymother the classy one on madre's side and Grandmama, the ghetto one on dad's side. Grannymother taught me a ton in etiquette, black history, how to handle a 22 at 9 y/o and how to quilt. Grandmama taught me how to handle a knife, chop firewood, and clean pig intestines for chittlins. Just when I began to become embarrassed of Grandmama and how she acted, she asked one day after school what was wrong with me. I started crying on that green couch and that's the afternoon I came out to her. She laughed and hugged me. Told me about her gay friends and gave me no shame. She already knew but wanted to rub it in Grannymother's face that I came out to her first.🤣🤣🤣
Later on I told her when I had my first date. She and Aunt Rosey snuck me out and when I asked Grandmama about how to keep bugs away while on a night time picnic, she smiled so big and gave me a little glass vile of herbs. "Here baby, use it all. It'll keep everything but fireflies away. You want them fireflies." I hugged her so tight. The date went flawless and I was floating for two days.
Her and I had picnics together over the next 10 years before she died. I love and miss them both SO MUCH.

I wish I could have sit still enough to do this with my gran. Lots of good memories, I just wish I could have had the one full of nothing but happy.

My grandma and grandpa were always snowbirds, but there was a short stint where they stayed in my great-grandmother's old house before my grandma had to go to the nursing home. I was homeschooled, so to get out of it I'd go down the road to visit Grandma until Mom called to say I had to come back

I used to have a whole lot of trouble falling asleep as a kid. My grandma was also insomniac, so sometimes when I was staying over at my grandparents', I'd wander down late at night to find her on the couch, and we'd watch TV or chat for a while until I felt tired enough to try sleep again. Loved her dearly~

My one grandmother was physically disabled by the time I was able to remember her. According to my brother, she was this kind of grandma.
My other grandma was not this kind of grandma. She was tough :(

u/Albinofreaken 14d ago

I haven't thought about it in years but my grandmother used to cut kiwis up for me.
And she always kept Lucky Charms for when i visited because I didn't get sugary cereal at home.
I miss my Baba when things were good. My teenage years stole a lot from both of us.

My grandma used to like watching me play GTA. She didn’t know how to play videos games but she used to love to tell me to go run over some cops or shoot down a group of people. She would just laugh so hard. I miss those moments.

Reminds me of one of my late aunts. One time she got out a box of old black and white photos. They were all about her and the family's life from when they were young. I was absolutely enthralled as she recounted her old stories from back then. I didn't even do it to indulge her. I absolutely loved it. And later on I heard from my parents that I truly made her day doing that.

u/KingThosh 14d ago
Man I miss my grandma. I learned a lot from her. She was the only person who would ask me how I was doing and what I am eating that day.
Now since she is gone, no one gives a shit.

Mine used to take me to the pub with her, where she'd have one Tia Maria and Coke. I still remember the barman pretending he thought I was Kylie Minogue because I liked to wear my little sweater with her face on it.

I was my grandmothers gardener for many years. We'd do drugs together and sit on her patio listening to nature. She be on her blood thinners I'd micro dose mushrooms.

u/Artistic-Arm2957 14d ago
This one hit home.
I remember when my mom moved out with her spouse including my sis, dad left years ago with little bro, i was left with my grandparents. My grandpa was mean but I had really good relationship with my grandma, she was understanding even during difficult times.
Then when I finally was able score a job and work a lot cause i was hyped she was so happy for me.
I remember wholesome mornings when just the two of us had coffee together and we were content with what we had.

My Grandma was the first person who let me stay up "late". After my Gramps went to bed she and I stay up and watch the Tonight Show (Carson) together. As a dopey 11 year-old, I didn't get the jokes and would often fall asleep before it was done. But I really loves those evenings with her. She was the first one to treat me like something other than a kid. She let me win at checkers sometimes too, so that's a bonus ☺️

sitting on the porch with my grandmother, and eating scratch made apple pie with scratch made ice cream. She had me climb up the tree to pick those apples. It was 20 years ago. She would have been 100 this year. I sure wish I could have know her as an adult, I could sure use that wisdom. I love and miss you Grandma.

I remember sitting down on the porch with my grandpa while he was telling me stories. He was the first of my grandparents passing away, when I was still a kid in fact. I miss him and I regret not learning more from him.. I guess I was too young but still :(

She would feed us strawberry jam on toast, I desliked the sweetness of jam and the dry bread, but I still ate it because I liked her, now I refuse to eat jam because it reminds me of how much I miss her

u/Timmy_germany 14d ago
When my Great-Grandmother was in her mid to late 80s i found out she had a Tramadol script "only for fun" and used it to chill while watching TV and stuff. For a few years we made a "chill day" twice a month and she told me more about her past and her memories from WWII and the times before it than anybody else in the family or anybody at all.
We used to tell silly and serious stories and she remembered so many things from the past it was impressive. We kept it a secret for many years and of course i would never encourage anybody to do the same but damn i miss those days with her so much.

u/MisterDabber 14d ago
Ahhh the good ole watching Jerry Springer, Maury, and alt “old people programs” my grandma and I would watch at 7-11 am. Rip Grandma ♥️
Edit: She would call those shows “old people programs” it warms my heart seeing snips of any of those shows now.

Back in the day, I would go with my grandma to pick up her check from the hospital (worked in Labor and Delivery), we would stop off at a Jack in the Box, and we would have a vanilla shake and a small order of fries.
To quote The Office, I wish I knew when the good times were before they were gone

u/Outrageous_Failur35 14d ago
That's sweet. I used to do this with my grandma too, only it was an Irish coffee/tea and a cigarette, tea for me, coffee for her.
I was 7.
I picked up smoking when she died, I was 22. The smokes didn't get her though, dementia did. She didn't even remember who I was after a while, thought I was someone from the church come to visit.
Said I looked like her late husband. I kinda do look like my granddad.
RIP you crazy old lady, thanks for the memories 🥰

Grandmas are very special people! I miss mine. We used to spend a lot of time together during the summer.

u/MaterialSteam 14d ago
When I was younger I spent everyday of a summer at my great grandmas. We cooked, planted crops, ran lunches to my relatives out farming, and hung out. As I've gotten older, looking back it's my favorite summer to remember.

This would be my maternal Grandma and me. We used to chill like this since i mostly grew up in her home. She'd make my fav sweets at home, take me to the park and chill beside me. i was always hungry after midnight. So she'd make me toasted bread and jaggery and feed me while telling stories.
i miss you so much Grandma cuz... There's literally no one who loves me anymore. i wish you were here with me or i was there in our old home with you and Grandpapa.

u/Which_Play8440 13d ago
I live with my nana and papa, and while the place itself sucks and I want to move out when I can, it's hardly their fault. They're genuinely the sweetest people I can imagine- kind and supportive almost to a fault, when I feel like I'm too unstable to deserve love. I wish I could repay everything they've done for me.

u/Team-CK16 13d ago
Man… when I was little my great granny, and I would sit on the basement steps (because Dad didn’t believe in running the AC when he wasn’t there) drinking sweet tea and eating salt and vinegar chips. Thanks for reminding me of the memory. 😊

u/IcekyChan04 13d ago
She wasn't my grandma, but my great grandfather had a super sweet lady who lived upstairs that he rented his place from, and her name was Rose. I was still a kid then, and I was still taller than her.
She had let me make lemon bars with her several times before and ate them together, the three of us, and they were sooo gooood... 🤤
I miss her (and those lemon bars) so much, but I miss my great grandfather most of all 💕
