things my 94-year-old grandmother said when I visited her today

“You look so well! Not that you don’t ever look well, but you look very bonny.”

“I’m never on time. I always said I’ll be late for my own funeral!”

“It’s so lovely to see you. I’m so proud of you.”

“Life is such a strange thing. We all come into the world not knowing why we’re there or what we’re doing, and then it all just unfolds for us. It keeps going.”

*touching my fox tattoo* “It’s beautiful! Like the story of the fox and the grapes, do you remember that one?”

*touching my leopard tattoo* “Look at that! You’re never alone with a friend.”

“Ninety-four! I don’t feel ninety-four. Forty-nine, maybe. But, no, if I wanted to be that, I’d have to unwind everything that I’ve had, and I’ve had such a good life. I’m happy with who I am.”
