My Grandma (my Mom's Mom) turns 89 today. I have been blessed with incredible role models and my Grandma is one of them. Grandma raised 11 kids. She (and my equally fun Grandpa) not only provided for their physical needs but emotionally as well. My Mom had a great childhood. There was lots of love to go around- even in a large family. There was also lots of laughter. How did Grandma do it all? She got up early to make breakfast and pack lunches for everyone. She must have always been cooking for such a large crew. Her sacrifice and selflessness are so evident to all of us. She is a great balance of fun and seriousness.Now she has over 20 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren that she dotes on. Grandma always sends birthday cards and anniversary cards to all of us. She must have a special pact with the postal service because they always arrive on the exact day. Grandma's calendar is filled each day with people to send cards to. Grandma also has the most beautiful handwriting. I was very honored that she addressed all my wedding invitations. When you call Grandma you get the news on the whole family. She is so proud of us all that she wants everyone to know the latest info!
In one month my Will and Nate get to meet their Great-Geema. I am counting the days. I want them to meet one of my heros. I want them to see and feel the love she has for them. Grandma you are my hero. I love you so much. You bless all who know you.
