Grandmothers are real authority in life lessons, I'm sure your grandmother had given you one.

My mother & grandmother always told us kids that "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" it has served me as excellent advice.

She taught me that I'd never win against her at cards if I didn't cheat as much as she does.

If everyone jumps off a bridge are you gonna jump too? Put yourself in someone elses shoes. Imagine what you would do, if you were faced with the same situation.

Remember to hold hands when crossing busy streets and look to your left and look to your right. It kept me alive.

My grandmother always told me there are a lot of people worse of than me. And she was true. I can always find someone worse off then me. And she told me to always try and love yourself a little as well as others.

Actually my grandmother was really not the one to give grandmotherly advise. I wish she would have been.

She taught me not to sleep past 7am at her house. She's let one rip on us grandkids if she had to call us more then once. God I miss her, she was a nutcase. :-)
