Tiny 93-Year-Old Scottish Grandmother's Reassuring Message To Her Grandkids Is The Good Cry We Could All Use Right About Now
02 April 2020
@islanne1/Twitter @SenverDammy
We are in the thick of a public health crisis last seen in the early 1900s.
The entire world is embroiled in a lockdown, the likes of which most of us have never seen in our lifetimes.
The mounting pressure of the times can be incredibly stressful, and sometimes we need reassurance.
<p><strong>Thankfully, Islanne's 93-year-old "wee granny" had just that message of reassurance.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

<p></p><p><strong>The Scottish accent makes it all the more comforting, no?</strong></p><blockquote><em>"Hello everybody, I'm still here. I'll tell you I'm like a bad penny, there's no getting rid of me. </em></blockquote><blockquote><em></em><em>"I hope you're keeping well and doing what you're told. </em><em>Keep to the rules and youse all be fine - it will all pass. </em></blockquote><blockquote><em></em><em>"Bye bye for now, I love you all—think about youse a lot."</em></blockquote><p><strong>The heartwarming message was intended for all of this woman's grandchildren.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
