These Hands are 100yrs Old

These Hands are 100yrs Old

My Gran's hands....with these hands, i was raised, with these hands i was cared for, with these hands, many generations came to be. My grandma has buried almost all her children, outliving them by so many years. I am fortunate to have a gran so old and still remembers me...of course after explaining.

Sadly her caregivers dont even cut her fingernails, that saddened me a little. Thats NTSU Snuff on her hand.

    I have never had a relationship with my Great Gran, she passed away back in 2007, She was 98 years old at the time. one thing I know is I respect her for raising my mom because through her I am.

    We were talking about snuff this weekend... Some argue it's better than sex.
