I asked Grandma out of all her 91 birthdays she's had, which one was her most favorite? She respond that number 90 was it because she never imagined she would make it that far!
My mom and I along with my kids went to her favorite place, Babe's Bakery, and got her favorite cookies, oatmeal, and took them over. Instead of a birthday cake we ate cookies with her. We then opened a few presents. Jemma had made her a bracelt, mom had framed pictures of Dad and Uncle Bill, and Krysti send a box filled her favorite chapstick and lotion. As we were about ready to leave she asked for a special dinner of Chinese food. We complied to her request and she said she had never tasted anything so good.
Matt and the Hammonds made it to Idaho the next night and we took Grandma Betty to dinner at Sizzler. It was a wild ride for her as Robert and Matt pushed her in her wheel chair down the road to the restaurant, but she made it in good spirits!
I am grateful for Grandma Betty. She has taught me that no matter what trials a person must endure in this life, you can walk through them graciously, and can continue to be content and happy.
Happy Birthday Grandma!
