The Wild Year When Perimenopause Came For My Grandma, & Puberty Came For Me ([link removed])
Today, Jen McGuire has a really sweet story about how she and her grandmother became best friends thanks to very unique circumstances.“My Nana became my best friend when I was 13 and she was 54. After 13 years of loving each other and living together most of my life, we shifted that year. My mom was on her own when I was growing up, and so she and my brothers and I lived with my grandparents for all the obvious reasons. Finances, child care, use of my grandpa’s car when he said it was OK,” she writes. “I never thought much about our lives when I was a child because honestly, what child thinks about their life? I just ate breakfast with everyone, watched TV at night with everyone, and shared a bathroom with my mom and my Nana and my aunt when we got ready to go places. It was just our life. Then puberty hit me. Then perimenopause hit my Nana. And then we became soul mates.”
It’s a lovely tribute to an important woman in her life, and even if you can’t relate exactly, we think you’ll find it sweet all the same.
