My grandma is in her late 80s. Blessed with children, grand and great grand children. She lived her life dedicated to Islam, jovial, Kind, a woman with big heart and a great cook. I actually got my cooking skill from her

SKIN: Though she make use of naturals like oil and Shea butter, her skin glows all the time but isnt what it used to be thou skin still healthy. So, I advice u take proper care of your skin while u still can nd refrain from bleaching cuz most of these products have side effects
You think you funny? Grandma is practically a comedian. She still make us laugh even in her current state. Though not everyone is humorous but one should know how to make people comfortable around them so people won't get bored around you and also have something to come back for
Good memory is one of her great abilities. No matter who you are, if she saw you once, she will def remember u the next time you meet. but things are no more like that though she still remembers well but her sight isnt really helping that you gats tell her who you are before...
she recalls because she barely recognize much people now.
I knew her to be a good listener which is nice because she would always give you the best advice but she barely hears now. Sometimes, she won't even hear at all and most times she takes some seconds to comprehend what you've said and then give response
She was also a fashionista, Grandma can dress for Africa with her mad mad geles(Headties) 
, but she only wears what they give to her now because she isn't capable of handpicking those fine fabrics no more. You know why? She's Old.

My Alhaja is such a cheerful giver, she can actually give out her last cash to someone in need without thinking twice. Well she still does not but not as active as before. I could remember she would share money to all her grand and great grand children around before going for...
Eid prayer for Spendyyyy, she even gives other children too in as much she sees you around and the wives too are not left behind.
Finally, her cooking skill. She's such a great cook with no doubt. My fav then was Gbure(Water leaf) that of Pade mi ni gunpa
. When you visit, she would feed you like never before and also make you feel at home. She cooks most of what she eats by herself till earlier this...

decade. but Old age cant be maneuvered, so she now eats whatever is given to her though they good food.
No more strength to do all those hard works because she's Old. Watching how hard it is for her to break Eko(pap) into smaller lumps made my eyes wet which led to this thread.

These are symptoms of old age, there are so many more so whatever you're doing now think about what effect it will have on your old age. When you eat like no tomorrow without watching your weight, Remember What Effect It Will Have On Your OLD AGE.
No one says you shouldn't eat but back it with necessary exercise that's good for your health.
Some people are blessed with micro body so they can still move around well even in their 100s but look at yourself right now and ask yourself if you can work effortlessly in your 60s.

This is just a reminder that Old Age isnt a Joke. You're gonna grow old either you like it or not so treat them the way you want people should treat you when you grow old.
Prepare yourself to become a grandma/grandpa that's accesible not that which people run away from.

Visit your old relatives from time to time, it will give you some pictures of what old age is like.
Sometimes, all they need is to create fresh memories because the ones they had had become vague. So you can do that by visiting and spending quality time with them.

There is no way you will do well to your old ones and you won't be successful in life because a prayer from them get quicker answers. Take Pharaoh for example, he was successful in life because of his relationship with his mum though he was a bad person.
May Allah bless our old ones with sound health and also bless us with wealth to take good care of them.
