my favorite grandma florentine quote...

She's going to be 95 in a week, she's got alzheimer's and macular degeneration. Here is what she has to say about losing her eyesight (and my father's response to me as he is telling me the story)...

"I don't know whyI am losing my eyesight. I never looked at dirty magazines or things like that."

My dad's response: "I didn't realize it was a use it or lose it thing."

I'm so stunned by this, I can't even think of a comment. This is so unlike either of them.
