The years soften and moderate the personality. There is a saying that grandmothers are mothers twice. Or that they are mothers squared.
Many brand her as spoilers and pimps ... in the good sense of the word. And we could say that it is true. But why?
As I put it at the beginning, the years are smoothing down the rough edges of the personality, those hard and strong traits, sometimes uncompromising, are being left behind. Now full of understanding, wisdom, experience ... grandmothers learn from those mistakes that as good mothers they were able to make and that is why now they have another perspective.
How inflexible they were with their children, today becomes flexibility with their grandchildren, the aspects of misunderstanding in which they could incur, today become absolute understanding.
This to cite an example, which makes grandmothers much more gentle and pampering beings than mom and dad. But this has an aspect that radicalizes that love for them grandchildren much more.
And it is the noble fact that their grandchildren are the children, of the beings they love the most, who are their own children.
A child comes from you, and consequently you love them, but when that child comes from a child of yours, whom you love with your soul, love is double.
That is why grandmothers are and will be the most beloved and loving that exist.
I had the opportunity to understand that I had a grandmother, when it was late and she was already passing away, there was the emptiness of having had her without being able to love her, because causes that were not attributable to me, but that I did not know how to see, after growing up.
