We have a tree in our yard that is a couple hundred years old, but it's nowhere NEAR as big as the one in your picture.<br /><br />It's lovely that you got to know the older generations of your family. Of my grandparents, I only really got to know one grandfather. Luckily on my husband's side, the families started younger. At my husband's paternal grandmother's 80th birthday, there were five generations present.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story. It's like wrapping up in a treasured family heirloom quilt.LuAnn @ BackPorchervationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775630749079885915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657166363137612048.post-53134512395305445922016-12-21T08:38:57.780-08:002016-12-21T08:38:57.780-08:00Those gray heads are a treasure, aren't they? ...Those gray heads are a treasure, aren't they?

The way they weather the seasons stand tall graceful in their bare nakedness, unflinching against the harshest elements, supremely confident that their time will come, no matter what. If only I could have their patience and faith. I feel sad that I missed out on interacting adequately with my grandparents, although I do remember pestering my granny for stories and happily listening to the same story over and over again. Awesome post Sampada - you are blessed to have enjoyed the company of your grandparents.

Not the kind who would give advice or ask penetrating questions, but the kind who pampered us silly and laughed with us. How I miss them today! True, these silver-haired sweethearts, with their soft wrinkly palms and their toothless grins bring a cheerfulness to the atmosphere in our homes. And, with their numbers dwindling with time, it does leave an achy hollow in our hearts, leaving us wondering who will help us learn more about our roots, who will enlighten us with stories about our families and who will pamper us with their unconditional love and warmth! <br />Such a warm post, Sampada! <3Shilpa Guptehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012657224569764780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657166363137612048.post-13758253041977267742016-12-08T20:51:01.454-08:002016-12-08T20:51:01.454-08:00You have such an interesting blog.
