Happy Birthday Granny

Today is the 80th birthday of my eldest son's grandmother. She is one of the dearest and strongest women you'd ever want to meet.

She has endured much including the loss of her husband about 38 years ago, her favorite daughter and a granddaughter. She has lived through adversity of being the single mom of four children ranging from 2 up to teenagers and she did it with spirit and love.

I admire her more than she will ever know. My son is blessed to have her in his life.
