"My granny is simply incredible. I was working hard in our summer house, picking fallen apples. When I finished and was about to leave, my granny came to me and said, “Wait a sec!” and started to shake a tree branch, mysteriously giggling at the same time."

"I was a very shy girl and got my first boyfriend at the age of 18. We didn’t have a serious relationship — we just walked together and flirted. All of my family members were happy for me, apart from my granny, who claimed that it wasn’t appropriate to behave like this before a wedding and that she would never dare do it. Her words were hurting me greatly until the moment my mom told me that at the age of 16, my granny had an affair with a married man and broke up his family, and then she got pregnant and aborted the pregnancy. Then she married my granddad at the age of 18."
