The oldest people I knew

I have a pretty big family and most of them are old. So the oldest person I had ever known was my great grandma. She lived until she was about 94 but was still living on her own, she took care of her house, yard, and anything else she might have needed in normal day to day life. She was an amazing women she had practically raised my dad and always had the best stories about him. I remember going to her house and she always giving us cookies and other treats I could never wait to go to her house. Her house was pink and had all different colors of carpet in every color ranging from green to brown to red and to pink. It was like stepping back in time to the 70s when we went there. She always had toys for us to play with which at the time was all I cared about doing. My family just loved her she was funny and was kind and always offering us sweets but not in the annoying way some other grandparents do.She passed about 4 years ago but she will be graetly missed in our family; I often think of her during the day remembering the little things that made her so special. I hope that when I get old and have grandkids and great grandkids that I get to have the same kind of effect on their lives that she had on me.
I had another grat grandma but I didnt know her quite as well. She had altimeters and lived for away from us. She seemed older than my other great grandma becuase she was not doing as well. She was also a funny lady, she didn't like my grandma that much becuase she thought she stole her son away from her. You could tell by her conduct that she felt that way, the way she would greet her and say good by were dead give aways. We would go to her house and she had a lot of little glass figurines and she would let us bring one home each trip I still have all of mine and it is nice to have something to remember her by like that. She passed around the same time my other great grandma did and although I dont rember her that well I will always miss her too.
There is alot you can learn from those who come before you. They teach you what is truly important and what things we just shouldnt worry about. I wish I could still talk to them today and hear all there storys again, the things they loved and hated and what things they wish they would have not loved or hated.
