[quote=Anonymous]My beloved Grandma, who died 5 years ago, was sort of like a cross between Blanche Devereaux and Audrey Hepburn, if you can imagine.  She was always tiny and cute, and she dressed in chic clothes in bright colors.  She had an extensive collection of jewelry, and she was a shopaholic until the day she died.  When I was in high school, my friends would come over and hang out around the kitchen table chatting with her, and they all called her "Grammie" and talked about how cool my Grandma is.  Adults of all ages treated her as if she were some unexpected, exquisite creature, and would pay careful attention to whatever she said.  My grandpa worshiped her.  She was certainly not invisible, and though I'm certainly not as special or attention-drawing as she was, there is hope.  If you have presence, it doesn't go away.

Plus, my other grandma, who now lives in a retirement community, exists in a world similar to the one I inhabited in high school: those ladies flirt outrageously with the men in the home, and they don't feel sorry for themselves.
