Happy Birthday Bubba!....

....no, not THAT Bubba! MY Bubba!

Today is my (maternal) grandmother's birthday. I don't really know how old she is today....I have sadly lost count (does that make me a terrible granddaughter?), but she is such an amazing treasure to me. All of my grandparents are. ALL of them are still living.....vibrantly living. In the same little town. In their own little homes. ALL 4 of them. Happily married. Active and strong. Living life. Still loving me. Adoring my children.

I miss them all. I need to visit more, but life gets crazy. I don't want to wear them out by inundating them with my wild crew. We're a bit too much to handle! But one day soon I hope to make the short drive out to the little country town that holds so many people that hold my heart. How blessed to have them all still influencing my life and the life of my children? Amazing!!!

Happy birthday, Bubba! I love you more than you will ever know, and your impact on my life is etched on my soul. I miss you. I miss Papa. I wish I could spend more days with you both. Our phone conversations make me laugh! I promise to call more. I promise to call all of you more.

I hope Nana and Grandaddy read this post....yes, they have internet and they read my blog! I missed wishing them Happy Anniversary here on my blog....60 YEARS this past fall!!! We all had a wonderful time celebrating with them...so blessed to have them in our life. I have such a colorful, loving, AMAZING family! Isn't that incredible?! May my own marriage be just as strong and long. I love you sooooo much!

Have I mentioned that I love my people!?
