My Grandmother was in the hospital a few weeks ago when she told me that she was embarrassed by the fact that she had not shaved the hairs on her chin.  It was very sad because she was stuck in the hospital and I couldn't do anything to help her remove them.  I don't know if they give razors to women, but when she came home I bought her some "Nair" to rectify the situation.

It was a roll on so I put it on her chin.  I wanted to take a picture of her because we were being very silly.  So I decided to put some on me too so she wouldn't feel bad. 

So here we are in all our glory with our funny chins spread with what looked like strawberry yogurt.  I had an allergic reaction to the "Nair."  Too bad it wasn't yogurt, strawberry is my favorite.

My biggest fear is no longer being able to see my chin hairs to pluck them!

Me too, Aileen!

Hey, i loved it, you know what? I feel is that these small things make whole lot of difference in life, the person who enjoys these small incidents and events live the life in the true sense. One of the most important thing in life is your family and if you can make them happy you can make the god happy. gr8 work.

Ah, the little things combined with a bit of humor...we will live longer for laughing.

Well, she will be 89 in August and recovering nicely from her hospital stay. Hopefully the laughter between us will continue for many years to come!

Grandmothers are precious. I'm glad you cherish yours. Your gesture meant a lot to your grandmother.

Yes, I try to cherish the moments with her for I don't want to have any regrets once she passes on.
