Prepare to crave a squeeze from Patricia Kubera, better known as Grandma Pat (@10secondswithgma), who lives in Orange County, California, with her husband, “Papa Al.” Pat is 83, a breast cancer survivor and Candy Crush addict, and has three adult granddaughters who started making videos of her musings in secret. Now the cat’s out of the bag.
Instagram: What’s your secret to aging gracefully?
Grandma Pat: No gluten. Acupuncture. Meditation. Hula-hooping. And ice cream.
IG: What’s the best advice you’ve given your grandchildren?
GP: Have an open heart and an open mind. Find someone special like your Papa Al. We just asked Papa Al what he would say, and it was, “Do onto others before they do onto you,” and, “Beware of the man that feeds you.” ? He keeps me laughing nonstop.
IG: Has your husband always been a willing participant in these videos?
GP: My husband is not very enthusiastic, but he knows how happy it makes me, so he is supportive.
