    Grandpa: what's up, come over in an hour and half.

    Me: ok. What's up?

    Grandpa: the car is in a ditch and I want you to lift it out, your strong ahahahaha.

    Me : hahahahha

    Grandpa " just kidding....

    You see around this time in life I'm the only one helping out grandpa and grandma, all my cousins (9) just dont have time for them. When I got there grandma was having a dementia fit of confused rage and grandpa told me to give her her pill so I did with some coconut water then I massaged her head and knees. 30 mins later she was cool and me and my grandpa were shooting the **** over Spanish news just laughing. He said he bought me a pizza and gave me an envelope for my wife's baby shower this Saturday. 200 dollars . My grandpa hasent gave me money since I was 14 for my weekly McDonalds.
    Point of the story is. Take care of your old people in your family, they need it and really appreciate it. One day they will go, and you dont want to be that sap at the funeral crying because you wish you could have spent more time with them...
    And Visa versa if your old, spend time with your grandkids, you'd be surprised the lessons you teach us without knowing.

    I'm shocked this hasn't gotten more responses
    There are quite a few Grandpas on this board.
    I too spent as much time as possible with my grandfather before he passed.
    I am so happy I did. Just this post alone brings back great memories.
    He lived to 105 and credited Jack Daniels and crown royal for he longevity.
    Great post friend,
    Everyone should treat their grand parents the way they want to be treated when they are one.

    I'm one of those, whom didn't spend enough time with my grandpa.. At his funeral I cried like a little baby, wished that I would have slowed a bit down, and set daily stuff aside.. He would have loved seeing his grand children..

    So sorry to hear about your Grandma.

    They found out what causes diseases like dementia, Alzheimer's and senility, its the heavy metals that we're exposed to that seddle in the brain.

    This might be helpful for your grandma;

    https://redpillliving.com/products/kelacream-edta-chelation-therapy-cream-1-8oz-jar

    When the above cream is applied topically it is absorbed into the bloodstream and attaches to heavy metals in the body and escorted to one of the exits, either the rear exit or the watery front exit.

    This would be great to add with the above cream;

    https://redpillliving.com/collections/c60-products/products/c60-coconut-oil-mct-60-olive-oil-40-4oz


    Here's some info on the C60 infused oils;

    TexasT Texas, where are you from

    I'm about to become one next year according to my daughter and her husband. I spend as much time with my father as I can but he and his wife travel quite a bit so we don't see them much. Wife and her mother had a falling out so we don't see her any more and my mother spends her free time with my sister and her family. So we concentrate on our children and hoping they picked up some of what we taught them.

    I'm glad I could help other see and slow down. Family is all we have, that and friends. Turn off the news, turn off your phone, unplug the computer and reach out to your blood. Be a friend to a friend. Open your heart and serve someone. Stay strong!!!!!

    Both of my grandfathers had died before I was born. I did spend a lot of time with my grandmothers, however.

    Grandkids are so much fun. They are the reward you get for dealing with your kids journey to adulthood. My wife is always coming up with something that she does craftwise or cooking with the grandkids. They head down to her craft room whenever they are here. I do things outside with them. I have piles of wood chips that we use on the gardens. They have names, and the kids always want me to take them to climb "Mt Chipmore". I also have a toolbox full of change. It's "Grampa's Treasure Chest" each time they come we make a big deal about raiding it. They get to remove the oversize lock on it and inside is a cup. They get to scoop a cupful and take it home with them. Memories I hope they treasure forever
