My Mary
Today is my grandma's birthday.
Mary is 85 today...I think..because I loose track of those things...and it's not polite to ask a lady her age.
My grandma is amazing...like most grandmas are.
She still has a job...a full time job.
She goes to Biloxi - to the casinos when she has a chance. And she wins. often.
She has been to Italy in recent history.
She is living life.
If anyone were to ask me, "what are some of your favorite childhood memories?" My answer would include times with my grandma and grandpa. They were a big part of my childhood and they were amazing. When I was very young, they lived in a wonderful house - on a wonderful pond - and that part of my life was magical.
Time happens.
Life happens.
And now my widowed grandma lives in Florida, and has for the last...almost 30 years.
We cherish the time we do get to see her.
Happy Birthday, Grandma! I wish you many more trips to Biloxi!
