Today is my Grandmother's 81st Birthday. I just wanted to post a thread dedicated to her. I know she will never read this. She is 81 years old today. My grandmother has had a great life and overcame many obstacles. When I was a kid instead of going to a daycare/preschool I went to my grandparents to stay every day while my parents worked. I didn't know it at the time, but I was so lucky to spend so much time with them. My grandfather died when I was 5, but he was a great man. Everyday around 3:00 I would go ring the bell at our back door. He worked right in his shop right behind our house fixing motors. Well, I would ring that bell and he would drop everything he was doing to come play with me. He was a great man.. Luckily I got to know my grandmother alot more. We were extremely close growing up. I used to go over her house and she would fix me some good ole food everyday! We used to talk about everyday. Abotu 10 years ago, she got bit by a mosquito and got something similar to the West Nile Virus and was in a coma for about 3 months. She has strong faith so she pulled through it. She is now battling Alheizmers. That is one bad disease, but when she sees us she always has a smile on her face. Tonight my entire family is going to her nursing home to celebrate her birthday with food and gifts for her. Sooo Happy 81st Birthday MeMa!!!
