My Awesome Grandma!



This is my Grandma.  She is 90 years old and we just celebrated her birthday.  Now, you have to know a little bit about her to appreciate this.  She's 90, just had her knee replaced and still acts like a 60 year old.  Her mind is sharp, her heart is gold, and her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids love her.  So many memories, such a rich life, so humble, so beautiful, and above all else, she has spent her life putting others ahead of herself.  As a result, she is one of the happiest people I have ever known.  She is living proof of finding your life when you lay it down.  90 years of giving through life have brought pure joy.  I love my grandma.  Did I mention that she was pretty? 
To top it all off, at the end of her party, she gave us all a gift, it was a book that she wrote over the last 3 years with my cousin Nicole.  It was a full length book about her life and the life of our family.  On her 90th birthday, she gave me one of the greatest gifts I will ever get.  What an amazing woman.  No wonder my Grandpa was always so happy.
