Just like a greeting card, I missed the exact date for my maternal grandmother’s birthday. It would’ve been number 108 if she were alive. Given her stubbornness, I think Grandma had good odds to make it a century-plus had she avoided cancer.
Looking back, my maternal grandparents were great to me on the fiscal side…something numerous self-made Republicans often forget with their own backgrounds; I only wish she were better in the people department. Science needs to hurry up with that damned time machine so I could go back, meet her when she was younger and not cranky. I’m confident Grandma wasn’t boy crazy like McFly’s mother but I think she was into other things besides teaching high school.
