Grandma's Birthday

                 

Do people still read this?? Haha, I am so good at starting blogs and then never posting on them. I think my life goal is to start as many as possible and then abandon them after a few months. Really though, I thought I would take a moment to celebrate our Grandma Wright. She had her birthday a couple of days ago and I don't think we take enough time to really appreciate how she blesses our family.

First of all, if she weren't here, NONE of us would be. Well I guess those of you that married into the joint, would still be around, but you wouldn't be as happy as you are now. So thank her for that! Second of all, she is a family gal through and through. What an amazing legacy to her and grandpa that our family is so close. I look at my mom and her sisters and brothers and marvel at how close they have remained over the years. I LOVE going to coffee with them all when I am in town because I admire the fact that after all these years on earth, they can still ENJOY sitting together and chatting multiple times a week. And because of their parents, they have this ability to care and love for their families. Grandma has always been there for all of us and because of her, our family still thrives happily every day.

She has taught her children the value of hard work and in turn, they have taught us the same. What a blessing that is. Truly. Grandma is not and has never been a big talker. She is not the loud boisterous type that most of her posterity is. But she has always been there, a staple in our family and without her influence, none of us would be the same. I appreciate her love and kindness and constant support that she has shown through out my life and I only hope to return the favor to her someday. What an amazing woman she is and we should all let her know how much we love her. Imagine how she would thrive from a small visit or phone call from each of us once or twice a month. She has given us so much, it is the least we can do, to celebrate her.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

We all love and adore you!
