A Birthday!

Today is a birthday, a birthday for one of the greatest women in my life. But, today the birthday girl is not with us to celebrate. Today would have been my Gram's 83rd birthday!
We lost my Gram a year and a half ago and I miss her so very much. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her, but today I celebrate her birthday.
My Gram was the most amazing grandmother any little girl could ever ask for......she was the perfect grandmother! At least in my eyes she was! I have so many memories of my Gram, some known and shared with the rest of our family and others that are just hers and mine.
My Gram was the center of our family and we all miss her so very much!!!
So, today on her birthday I will light a gardenia candle, sing "Happy Birthday" and think of my Gram and all the great wonderful smiles and laughs we had together!!! And even though she is not here to celebrate her special day -- we still celebrate her.
Happy Birthday Gram!
We all love and miss you!!!
