Yesterday, we threw an 80th birthday party for my dear grandmomma (G-mom). I have always been close with my mom's mother, even living with her in my early 20s for awhile. Growing up, all of us grandchildren spent a great deal of time at our grandparents' home. G-mom gave us all nicknames (mine was Happy Face) & told us each secretly that we were her favorite.
Her party was a huge success. Family from Pennsylvannia came down & it was wonderful to spend time and meet with relatives that most of us hadn't seen in over 25 years. G-mom saw old friends, reminiscing with pictures & sharing stories. Her great grandchildren sang "Happy Birthday" to her beaming face. My grandmomma is loved by many & has given so much in her life. She deserved this day and I was so happy to be a part of it.
My nickname is Babydoll ☺ Love my G-Mom! and yes we did spend a great deal of time at their home and I also lived with her as an older teenager. Some of the most BESTEST memories are with her and ya'll!
ReplyDeleteI love Grandmama so much! I've always loved the way she says "Rhonda Carole." She definitely deserved this day and it was so wonderful to see her so happy. A good majority of my most favorite childhood memories were at their house. Sliding down the banister, moving the rugs off of the hardwood floors and slipping and sliding, dressing up, going in the attic and looking around, and just being with her was the best. Glad to have shared alot of these memories with you. And you too Anna! Love ya! xoxo
