A granny is, by definition, an elder, a grandame. She has hard-won life experience, wisdom and endurance to pass on to others. She is part of a family, a team, a village, that works together to raise the next generation -- a most worthy and daunting vocation. To be called a Village Granny can sometimes feel like being one lone person in the world. But to a child, you can be the WHOLE world.
Granny is my name, and spoiling is my game. I’m 74 years old and have been married for 53 years, with 2 grown children: daughter, married and son, single. I have one grandson, 16 years old, who lives nearby, and Gramps and I see him often. I have 5 other grandchildren, ages 26 to 14 years old, who are the children of my niece and her hubby. They live out of state and we see them twice a year. I love being a Granny and feel that everything in my life has prepared me for this “job.” It’s a job I take very seriously, with a good sense of humor.
