There are a couple of moments in my life where I think my life was a little nuts.
Nothing mental, just a little nuts.
Asking my dad for permission to smoke joints inside the house instead of in the park in the winter and him saying yes is right up there. (I was 16).
Today, explaining the concept of dporn to my mom was also an interesting experience.
I think I introduced her to a world she did not know existed, lol.
The only difference is, I'm now so old, I have become indifferent to a lot of stuff.
Someone asks, and I explain. Simple.
We were on our way to meet my grandmother.
She broke her hip recently and my mom asked if I wanted to tag along for a visit.
She's in the hospital.
When we arrived in her room she remembered me but she admitted she couldn't remember my name.
It's not her fault, I'm sure it's mine. I should visit more often.
She guessed Bram (Dutch name), close enough. It's also 1 syllable.
She is in a wheelchair so we rolled her downstairs to the lobby of the hospital which nowadays looks more like a hotel than a hospital.
I like it, feels cozy.
We got coffee and had a chat.
I asked her if it's easy to accept that you can't do certain things anymore when you get older.
She said that you get more grateful for little things.
She's happy her mind is still sound and that she can do her puzzles and remember people and feel the love from those same people.
She grabbed my arm several times, I did feel a slight guilt.
I think what she dislikes the most is her body failing her. Even though she can accept it.
She doesn't complain, takes life as it is. I find it very impressive.
We stayed for 90 minutes and then we went back.
My grandmother is 50 years older than I.
My body is not yet failing me although you do notice certain things.
That little crack in your back, the grey hairs, the knee that locks up from time to time and that drop of pee that sometimes appears out of nowhere even though you double dried the bastard.
So before it gets worse I want to enjoy life as much as I can.
I used to think this was selfish but I don't anymore.
Looking at my grandmother today I realised that in this life you only get one shot.
You better make the best of things.
