I only have the vaguest memory of my maternal grandmother, as she died when I was 10, I think. My paternal grandparents had already passed, or did shortly after I was born. Another great article, Alison.
Well done Alison! I only knew 2 of my grandparents on either side of my family being the youngest of 7. I do have good memories of family times with them but they do fade with time!
When this question comes up - as indeed it does, regularly, being as I am 48 years old with elderly relations and poorly friends - I too would like to turn to Lego. And maybe I jolly well will.
Thank you for this very thought-provoking post. Wonderful words.

I was fortunate enough to know 3 of 4 grandparents but my father's father died when I was a year old, I would have liked to have known him.
I love reading about the bond you and your nephew have. The love and trust that you share with him 💜
And how true, that because we came into healthcare through other paths, that we weren’t prepared “the stack of horrors”.
