Learn the Zero Conditional

My grandma is a great woman with a very strong will,nothing can stop her from moving forward.Life is not always easy though,she was born into a poor family.She never got education due to poverty,but she is very good at mathematics.She got married at a young age and still suffered from life ever since,coz my grandpa is a bad-tempered person addicted to gambling and of course lost a lot of money.She loves me so much,and she often told me stories when i was a child,i’ve learned a lot about my family history from her.I am so fortunate to have such a kind and tough grandma.may she be healthy forever.

I’m kind of close to my grandparents , yeah they do like to spoil me :)

yes i too have grandparents. but now there are not with us. i missed them when i read the conversation of masion and amy. 

My grandma raised me and was the most loving person on Earth for me. Despite of a big generation gap, I loved spending time with her. She had an incredible sense of humor and was a great chef by trade. She made amazingly tasty meals. She could make roses out of dough, cook them and would sprinkle them with icing sugar and they were like real and so beautiful and then you ate them :) She had only 4 grades of education and could hardly read, so I read books for her and her interpretation was so amusing and so smart! She was loved by all the neighbours in our neighborhood. Was a very kind person who gave away a lot to others. We used to have a big datcha and every time when we got back we brought  something a lot with us, like strawberries, for example. The same day, the huge bowls of strawberries were at the neighbors’ doors :) 

I have a friend , he is a well known surgeon in Sao Paulo ,Brasil  , he has three  grandchildren from his daughter   and their snap photos  are all over his  medical office where he receives his patients ,what he didn´t know on doing so is that  his patients no longer would present him expensive wines and whiskies , all the presents are for his grandchildren . He told me about this  , obviously he can´t stop  proudly talking about his new family.

I know what you mean, 24/7  lol.    to seat the baby on the lap , what a marvellous  moment but  after a time  Ok. sweetie ,go with mom  ,I am tired .   lol   getting older comes with a tag price.    hehehe

hey Butta, sorry for raining on your bonfire, butyou have a long way to go (unshrug, please) :)

Yes Dear Butta, when we are young  we don´t quite  realized the depth of their wisdom ,Sometimes we used to talk nonsense  and  they just smile  and kept quiet ,i think that they know that the kids eventually will mature and understand  what is life more clearly , experience teaches more than books .Parents and grandparents , when kids start coming is like they have mortgage their entire life . So strong are the bonds  that  come with grandchildrens   

You know the drill, Julito 

Grandparents are very important for many families here!

They help to caring grandchildren while parents are working!

My mother side grandparents cared about me and my brother while my parents went to work!

Then they almost lived with us while they had their own house close to us too!

I lost my grandfather very soon when I was only 5 and after that my grandmom lived with us!

Me and my brother never felt our parents were not at home because my grandmom gave us all things we needed and also she gave all her love to us!

Unfortunately I lost my mom 3 years ago! My mom was the only child then my grandmom became alone!

I was caring about her all these 3 years but now she cant live alone .she is almost 90!

Then few months ago I brought her to my home for living with us!Because I knew that was my duty and she dosent have anyone else for taking care of her!

Yes there is a big generation gap between us and living with an old person is not easy!

But we must always remind our childhood times and all things that our parents and our grandparents did for us!

I wish I can do my best for my grandmother!:)

We are a mirror for our children and we will be old persons someday then we should do everything we expect from our children!

Snoopy,  knowing my mind  I think that you were curious  how much money he  pitched in so his boy could  invite a girl out.   proud grandpa.!!!!

My grandfather would shove his fist into my pocket and put some money in it, he found it rude if I pulled the bills out and started counting them in front of him. but as soon as I step out of his house… I dig into my pocket, “Yes!” : )

and as if your post wasn’t inspiring enough, you add a post that is as electrifying as Zeus’s preferred lightning bolt and shocked me beyond my  abysmal foundations :)

Thanks Butta! :)

They are treasure for us

This lesson just topped the one about Spring season as my favorite ; ).

Meeting my lovely “Pap” : )

I remembered when my guardian showed me a photograph of me sitting on the lap of my grandfather. I chuckled as heaps of tingling emotions rushed inside of me. I didn’t have any recollection of that day and I must have been 5 or 6 then. For some reasons, that photo was taken on one of the few occasions my granpa and I have met. But luckily when I reached the age of 19, he resurfaced into my life, I  learned about his whereabouts and paid him a surprise visit at his work, I asked one of the employee for him , he pointed him out to me; he was buried behind a pile of files-he’s an hard worker, as I approached him, he looked up and whatever classified files he was rumbling through met the floor unexpectedly, we locked into a hug ball and sprung all over his office, we were overjoyed : ).

I was surprised at how he recognized me, the second he laid eyes on me, I had gotten way too tall, and had grown facial hair and yet, he looked into those eyes, and saw the little rascal that sat on his lap over a decade ago. He looked the same as the old man I knew from the photograph, but I didn’t know he had such a hearty laugh, I didn’t expect so much energy from him, he almost bruised my ribcage hugging me so tightly ;). Despite the years I’ve spent not having the slightest idea of what type of person he was, we became friends very quickly. The meeting went very smoothly; I wasn’t there to defile him for not being in my life like he should, nor was I there to talk about the good old days, the only purpose of my presence was to finally meet my grandfather, and not only did I find him, I also found … work,  after meeting him  5 minute prior ;), yes, he assigned me to sort some portfolios into his file cabinet, and when I was finished doing that, I was on the register counting the money he had generated for the day. It was like we’ve known each other for years.

There has been an instant connection and mutual vibe of forgiveness between us, that day. Soon after that day, I knew how it felt to be a grandchild for the first time in my life. This 19 year old man I was then became the apple of his eyes, I was his first grandkid, well, that’s always his excuse for spoiling me ;). He’s the only biological grandparent I have and the first ever that I have known, and his second wife, who I would not dare address as anything else but grandmother, is just as dear to me, I love them with indescribable passion.

Unfortunately my grandparents are not close to me

i want to say somthing more about this touchy and sentimental topic. i know we all are missing our grandparents and there are lot of hidden memories and feelings somewhere deep down in our hearts to share. we all miss the whale of time we had with them. i have a request to all my friends, dont let them alone in old houses at their dotage. i know they are old and senile but they need us. do care for them love them in their life rather making memorials after them.

I love my grandma

yes there is  a big gap between our ideas  ... when she talk ..she always mention the past  and sometimes she be with us.. with present and she told us stories about herself when she was agirl and we laugh with her ….im really enjoy with her i hope she will live for along time ….....
