Honoring one of Earth’s oldest living beings. Gramma the tortoise lived a life few creatures ever experience, from 1884-2025. Her calm presence brought comfort, and her long life felt like a bridge connecting the past with the present. May Gramma rest in peace after an extraordinary life.
#Gramma
Un chiste ácido que condensa décadas de desencanto. La comparación es brutal: equipara el desembarco del yate #Gramma en 1956, hecho fundacional de la #revolución, con el hundimiento de un trasatlántico. La gracia amarga no está en el choque contra la isla, sino […]

God Speed Gramma! I spent a great deal of time with you when my grandsons were young. Saturday mornings well spent! #SanDiegoZoo #Gramma

Mr. Spot a photo live long and prosper. It says grandma the Galapagos tortoise at the San Diego zoo 19 84–20 25.
What if she could talk about all she has seen in 141 years? I am currently 😭.
She had an age related bone condition. They decided they had to euthanize her.😭

Today would be my BFFs 107th birthday, here’s us on her 100th. 🎂 #GRAMMA
Some of us think mistakes are no biggie. Opportunities to model, learn and grow, fix and correct. #everdaylife #courage
Others just lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, and lie. #cowardICE
Thanks for being the best, even if it is news of extreme human cruelty. 😣💙 #gramma #riseup #peoplepower
It's all I got , here you go #Gramma 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
😊 have a nice day!

As her memory faded
She clung to her love
Repeating the mantra
All our love, all our love

Using X or anything connected to the profits of #Musk is against my religion.
My religion is human decency.
#FuckMusk.
P.S. All of you young whippersnappers assuming that #gramma can't work the internet are WRONG.
Some of us are #hackers in #Anonymous, remember #ARPAnet, #Centrex, etc.
#Gramma Shirlee Update:
In the words of her Lord, "It is finished."
My sweet Gramma has gone from this earth.
Today is her visitation prior to cremation.
I'm agnostic, I don't believe I'll see her again ..ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
She is gone forever and that is really hard to swallow.
Up and at em today! She just got done eating ice cream and watching a movie with the recreation group. She was motoring around the halls when I got here.

Today, #Gramma Shirlee talked about her old boyfriends. And asked, again, about her mother. I had to, again, remind her that she is 93 years old and those folks have been gone a long time. Then she gets a little teary and sad.
#Gramma Shirlee update: She is now eligible for hospice care. This will provide additional comforts, persons, and options as we move thru this process. I've been trying to get her involved in the activities here....just for the sake of being around people.
My life glitters because #gramma shares #RoaringTwenties #stories while I shuffle around her tiny travel trailer in #FlapperDresses and sparkling strapped heels.

She was happy to see me! We had a lovely #lucid and pleasant few moments before she descended back down the #rabbithole.

Came to visit #Gramma at the hospital. She's asleep. I'm just gonna sit here and wait for a bit. Certainly someone will come in here and wake her up 😂I'm not going to wake her up because that's when she's most confused and delusional... so I'll wait.
