A Very Special Day
Why is this day special to me? Today is my granny's birthday. A very special woman to me and to lots of others. For those of us that were graced to know her here on this earth, know her beauty (inside and out), her strength, her kindness, her generosity, her richness for life and how deep her love for her family and friends was. I can not put into words how much she meant to me. The endless times we spent together fill my mind and heart with memories that will last my lifetime and more. Andrew remembers days of Skip-Bo and Scooby-Doo. Birthdays were always made special at her house. We tell Sara about those times since she doesn't remember. My eyes fill with tears of joy and sadness when I think of those times. Her love made my life full and even though I know she lived a long, great life, my heart aches when I think of how much I miss her with my body and soul. She was a great woman. I am a better person for having had her touch my life. She is still in my heart, dreams, soul and deepth of my being. She is who I am and I am very proud to be a part of her. Happy birthday, Granny! I love you!
