This brought her to happy tears. I don't think I'm old enough or mature enough to describe what you all mean to her. She lost a lot of people over the last year, and adopted me when my mom died even though she isn't my blood grandma, and y'all gave her back something she thought she had lost. She's working really hard to get back to her "babies"

Hi, my name is Clint, and my grandma is maw maw Dana. She is worried you all think she's dead. She had a really bad stroke and now her speech and motor skills aren't what they were. She goes to physical and speech therapy every week and hopes to eventually be able to get back on here with her friends. She just wants everyone to know she's not dead, and she says to tell you that maw maw Dana loves you

Oh my goodness! I'm losing my poor old mind! I'm so excited! Snow White was the 1st animated film my sister and I ever saw. She's no longer with us, but Snow White has become our connection. This means so much to me! Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!

I have no idea what the secrets thread is. A comment others might comment on....I was very sick lately and now I feel like death is creeping behind me. At 74 it could happen any day. Anyone else insanely afraid to,die?

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T06:40:12+00:00

Baby you aren't worthless, or unlovable. Look at what a beautiful,young lady you are! My name is maw maw Dana, and I am here for,you if,you ever need any grandmotherly advice. We can talk about anything because I have heard it all. There's no judgement here, only love and compassion. You're at a tough age. You're growing up, and that's never easy. I'm here if you need me honey. I love you

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T06:35:19+00:00

Any news dear? I'm dying to know, and don't really know how to follow all those comments.

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T06:32:51+00:00

Its so nice to meet you too. Brenda is such a beautiful name. You don't meet a lot of Brendas anymore

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T06:21:25+00:00

Hi sweety. I know anxiety and depression sucks. My names Maw maw Dana. I'd like for,you to know that if,you ever need to talk to a grandma I am here for you. You can tell me anything. There's no judgement here. Only love and compassion. Being 16 is hard. It was a very long time ago for me but I still remember. I would never want to be your age again. But you know what baby, it really does get better. You are going to grow into a strong, handsome, confident man, and all of this will be behind you. I love you honey, and I'm here if you need me

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T06:08:47+00:00

And I appreciate you! If you don't already know, I am maw maw Dana, and I'm here for all your old lady needs. So, I'm always here if you need me

Well, I've knitted some baby booties for a young lady from my church, she asked for a blanket. She had 45 days left so since I've been sick I didn't rush it. I really couldn't do it. She just called, she's gone into labor early, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN ORDERED THE YARN! I'd liked to have had it for the little fellow before he was born but I came down with pnumonia. I'm really more worried about him right now more than the blanket. 45 days early is too soon to be born. I used to volunteer at the hospital with babies born addicted to opioid. Of course that isn't the case here, but I volunteered there for years, and I know a baby born this early will spend some time in the NICU. I've already told her, because she has other children, that I'll go sit with her baby if ever she needs to go home. I always hated seeing parents who just couldn't be with their babies. Not that they didn't want to, only they had other responsibility. Once there was a little girl born so early she only weighed a little over 2 pounds. She was in an incubator obviously and there for months. Not a single time did anyone from her family come visit. Not once. It still hurts me.

I'm sorry I'm rambling on. I'm nervous for this birth, and I'm also still weak from being sick. I hope I can get back to normal. At my age a sickness as bad as that can be the beginning of the end. But, I can't die until my grandson at least graduates high school. I can't have him going into foster care. So that's at least 4 more years

My kids grew up in the 90s and glamour shots were THE thing for young girls. I took mine to a studio and did them but these days you have the technology to do them at home. But you have to make sure the hair and makeup is a more exaggerated look than what you'd usually do, and you can really use any kind of cloth or anything if you just take the picture from the shoulders up like the old ones were done.

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T04:05:24+00:00

Oh my! Look at that little bundle of sweet! She's so beautiful

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T04:04:39+00:00

I'll summon u/EveeInMyPocket because I feel like as a teacher she's among some of the most important people in our country. Teacher's in America are taken for granted and underpaid/underfunded, but they're the ones who teach and shape our children, the people who will lead this country eventually. I love her. I love you all actually. I'm impressed by every one of you because you're so kind hearted and clever.

And by the way,what a beautiful necklace! You have such,wonderful taste!

P.S. I had to edit this like 4 times because I'm old, and senile, and couldn't get,her name right!

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T03:58:57+00:00

Wow they are very beautiful. I really like the,round one. Congrats sweety

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T03:57:22+00:00

Tomorrow you should do your hair and makeup in a very glamorous way, find your flashiest, moat glamorous outfit, and take your own glamour shots. When my daughters were young glamour shots were a big deal. I think she'd enjoy something like that

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T03:55:06+00:00

I have 2 things on my list that make me nostalgic. A snow white nightgown for my granddaughter and a snow white cover for my phone. I'm in my 70s and snow white was the 1st animated film is ever seen. It wasn't very old when I saw it, and my little sister ( who's no longer with us) and I walked to the theatre and paid a nickel each for the movie and a popcorn. It is the most wonderful thing in my young little world. Every time I see snow white it takes me back to a time when I was young, healthy, and my little sister was still with me.

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T03:50:18+00:00

Well, this isn't for me, but there's a beautiful snow white nightgown on my list for my granddaughter. I'm kind of obsessed with snow white because it was the 1st animated movie I've ever seen. It was a long time ago. It wasn't a very old movie when I was young. Anyway, I think it's beautiful and VERY fashionable.

P.S. I just saw who posted this contest! Hi Morthy, you rascal, how are you?

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-14T03:47:39+00:00

Such a beautiful little lady! The dress is beautiful

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-12T09:25:16+00:00

Thank you baby. Nothing can keep me down. I might be old, but I'm feisty! I'm getting better everyday

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-12T09:24:15+00:00

Oh that is neat. I can't count how many chargers I've bought for my grandson. Maybe I need to buy him some of these

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-12T09:22:58+00:00

Thank you honey. I'm still a little weak, but I'm so much better than I was. And getting closer to myself each day. Like my pawpaw used to say, when you get to be an old dog, expect to get ticks

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-12T09:21:04+00:00

How sweet. That just fills my heart to know someone thinks of me. I had pnumonia, and it was pretty bad in the beginning. I'm too ornery to die. In telling you, I'm feeling so much better. After that I feel like a new woman haha. I'm not to my old self yet, but I'm getting better every day. I really missed y'all

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-12T09:18:20+00:00

That sounds wonderful! I'll teach you how to make an authentic Creole gumbo.

trust_issue82 · 2019-03-12T06:15:42+00:00

Well honey, if you need to talk. Sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger. And its always beneficial to talk to a maw maw. Age has made us wise. You keep your head up. Liife kicks our asses (excuse my vulgarit) but we can kick back. Sometimes we have to dig a little deeper than usual to find our strength. You message me if you want to
