The Times They are A-Changin'...

My grandmother had her birthday earlier this week, so I visited the G-parents, which was fun.

I haven't had the time to go see them in awhile, and I feel really bad for it. I love my grandparents and they've always been there for all of us. Which is why I've felt bad for not visiting. That's the thing about life, it runs away from you. Easter was spent in Sweden and working long-ish hours, friends, boyfriend and other family does take up your time.
They've also always been young-ish, my grandparents. My Grandfather was like an extra playmmate when we were younger...



But lately times have been hard, especially for them. They've aged incredibly in the last year. And that's made me realize that they're not that young anymore, it just never occured to me before because the age wasn't so noticable. It is now though. And I plan to spend as much time as I can with them, I don't understand people who don't.
Just not showing up for a birthday, because "You just couldn't be bothered". God, shit like that makes me so mad. How dare you even utter the words! To your grandparents, especially ours that has always...always been there.
Sick. But I know that I just "Can't be bothered to show up" on other birthdays as well, after that comment.

Anyway, happy belated birthday to my awesome Grandmother!
