When my paternal grandma passed, her nurse called my mum to break the news to her because she thought that was her biological daughter. My grandma and mom were so close and it was so beautiful to see. Mummy used to carry grandma’s matter on her head so much https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

Whenever grandma got something nice from my mum, which was often, she’d keep it and show it off to her visitors https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">but when she got anything nice from anyone else, she’d give it to me or my mum. Nobody could get between the two of them, I’m sure it used to annoy my aunties https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

Every time “Toyin this, Toyin that”. They would have given whole limbs for each other if it ever came to it. She’d always thank my mom for taking care of my dad and tell her to report my dad if he ever misbehaves, that she’d fight for her. She nearly always took my mum’s side.

I’m not sure what the reason for this thread is https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😪" title="Verschlafenes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Verschlafenes Gesicht"> but hm
I really miss seeing the kind of relationship these two women had. I wish grandma stayed long enough to see me do the great things she always prayed for me that I’d do.
