Hmm interesting read
Gran’s are very wise…you still lucky you have her – look after her, take her advise and cherish her!
I lost my Gran and when I hear “Haha karakarwanu, ek kaan ma ti karilakwanu.” it reminds me of her so much
I think you Gran is very wise. A river won’t try to flow through a rock, but will gently flow over it!
