My gran will be 99 in a few months time and still lives herself but her eyesight has been very bad for about 15 year snow, She does have a homehelp that pops in in the mornin now and last thing at night to make sure all is ok in her 3 bedroom house
She outlived her oldest son (My uncle Jimmy) and was very gutting for her and my grandad bigtime which led to my grandad actually dying a short period after which was a tough time for the family obviously.
Worst bit off all.........she doesnt even want to be here anymore an that comes from her own mouth
