An old person I know.
I know a lot of old people. And I love a lot of them too. But the one I want to talk about is my grandmother (my mother's mother) She is about 85 now if I am right. She is a sweet grandmother. She gave birth to 12 children but only 10 of them grew up but now she only has 9 because my aunt just died. She is a very strong woman. My grandfather died long time ago. Can you imagine how hard it would be to raise 12 kids? She was telling me about how hard her life was when my mother was very young and couldn't help her with the household chores. Now she just stays home. Tries to live as long as possible for everybody because she is the last grandparent for a lot of people. And because of having too many children she now has prblems with her womb. No worries everybody is taking good care of her because she really deserves it. Last time I called my mother I talked to her she asked me a very hard question "Will I see you before I dei?"
