How wonderful that would be for you.

I used to live with my grandparents for 11years and those were productive years. Even though I moved backto my parents when I was 12, my relationship with my grandparents never fade away. I've lost both my grandparents when I was in my early 30's and recently lost my father. Yes, I do miss them very much but I have my mum to care for and keep company. At least, my daughter is enriched with having two grandma's and a grandpa. That's the greatest gift I can give to her and you are a lucky grandma.<br />Duncan, you're kind to introduce this guest post. It just come to show how appreciative you are of your blog friends.Lili Sulastrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611123312908822471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-47598178749912453042012-10-05T14:16:29.653+08:002012-10-05T14:16:29.653+08:00This is so endearing to read Diane, especially the...This is so endearing to read Diane, especially the part about Eleanor going on a holiday with you this month. It reminds me of my relationship with my grandparents; they've looked after me since I was born for ten years, and now even though we only see each other once a year, we talk every night on the phone and always go travelling together whenever we can!True My Lenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864562755030678414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-35144484776081481042012-10-05T13:31:38.888+08:002012-10-05T13:31:38.888+08:00Hi Diane.

And she can make us laugh too :-)<br /><br />I used to live in Singapore as a child, for 3 years when my dad was with the Royal Air Force, don't remember much about it, but we do have lots and lots of photos.

You indeed do not look your age, still young and beautiful really! Anyway, we should all learn to use the adj "young" instead of "old" no matter what one's age is. For example, 60 year young or one day young baby. Imagine calling a one day young baby "old" already! Ha ha. If we all start to use the adj "young" to describe a person's age, we will all age slowly, because if we say that we are old already when we are not and am still young, our mind will just go along and help us to age faster, don't you think?! I am all for a reorientation.

I...Thank you Diane...I know how you must have felt. I just can't be with my beautiful granddaughters in Malaysia every birthday, even every year and that makes me sad. I do have a great relationship with them through weekly Skype sessions. Lauren and I play wonderful imaginative games! Leah has just started to want "her" time with her English Grandma now too which is lovely! We're very blessed that technology is so advanced these days and that the world truly is a smaller place.<br />When Duncan announced he was going to live in Malaysia it broke my heart in what seemed like a thousand pieces. I've visited a couple of times and am planning a trip next year (health permitting). I guess it's not the end just because he lives all those thousands of miles away, it's an adventure.<br />I hope those darling girls will come to visit me in England one day.

I don't remember who stumbled upon whom, but we're both glad we did! She's a sweetie and definitely does not look her Calendar Age. She's 30-something for sure! <br />I love your photography and so glad to see you posted info about your camera.

I know that's how my mom feels being 700 miles from my son Elliot. I was able to travel to Paris when I was sixteen with my school. It was fantastic!
