She passed away a few years ago at the age of about 95 years.She lived with my mother and every time I went back to visit my mother,I met her and talked to her.Despite her age,she still could remember what happened during during WW11 and I love to hear about our family stories.About half of them I almost forgot and my mistake was that I did not write them down..
If your grandma is still around,do jot down her stories.If not all those family stories will be buried as our family elders die one after another.
One lesson I want to share with my friends-old and young is about her advice to me to stay safe.Her simple guide is avoid going to dangerous places!That,to me, is risk management 101 from my grandma who has not been to any formal school in her life time.
Since ,you are reading this far,my advice is never let your mother wait for your call.Just take you mobile phone and say hello to her,NOW.
