My grandma is 92 👵🏼
and for those who didn’t know yet
she has Alzheimer’s.
She never had the luxury to go to school, 📝
let alone read, learn and write English.
But after she married a headmaster,
they moved to a cozy little home,
next to the school. 🏡
Everyday morning,
the sound of students reciting from their textbook
travels across the school yard.
And that was how she picked up:�‘What is your name?’�‘How old are you?’�‘I am 10 years old.’
I never knew she could do that,
besides ‘Thank you’ she never once
uttered a single English word. 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe Alzheimers made her confident
or maybe it triggered some old memories…
I don’t know.
But it doesn’t matter.
As long as she is happy. 🥰
