    I found with my grandparents that they’d focus on the smaller things as they aged. Sure, they could talk about the major events but they actually liked talking about the little things.

    My grandmother (who is best described as an eccentric matriarch) would tell stories about how she changed her general store to one ~10 km further away because the closer one “didn’t serve poor people” (she’d tell the full story of why every time).

    She died at ~77. I can only imagine what moments she’d have in her heart if she had lived to 108.
