So this week I lost my Nan, and it got me thinking, she really was a one off ( or at least in my mind ) 88 and mothered 12 Children and 1 still born.
Countless grandkids and great grandkids, yet she never ever forgot a birthday or anniverasry.
A proper what i call old school Nan, large build, cuddly and an all round Nan as a nan should be. Anyway just made me think do they make Nans like this anymore? |

Sorry to her of your lose. My nan died 9 years ago, and she was my best friend. She was one of the most foul mouthed, funny women I have ever met. Think Mrs Brown on steroids. I miss her every day  |

I loved my grandma dearly. She died 18 years ago and I still miss her, she was a wonderful lady.
My fiancé and I were talking about our grandparents the other day, we discovered that our grandma's were both called Florence Jane..... One of the nicest coincidences we have found |

I am ok thanks, she had been ill for a few weeks and in the usual stubborn determined way she hung on longer than they expected.
Amazing woman, and honoured to have been a part of her life |

I'm so sorry to hear if your loss. I'm extremely lucky to still have both my Nan's, 1 is 88 and 1 is 86. 1 is the youngest of 10 children. They both lived through the war as young teenagers . As the eldest grandchild they would give me the moon if they could and they're my heroines. I go to them when I need to hear wise words. |

both sets of grandparents died ages ago - never really knew one grandad - my grandmas were so different - mums mum was a small quiet lady - very innocent and kept herself to herself and very proper - always hat gloves handbag best coat on etc - but dont think we ever did anything other than visit her - always a cold meat salad for tea with teacups and saucers ---- my dads mum was more typical - lots of grey curls - bit chubby - loved to do stuff together - lived in the countryside and we went for amazing adventurous walks and we cooked together - she was the best cook ever - but she had another side to her - when grandad died she went and moved in with this man she had 'known' for years -and she married him not long after - little tinker |
