I am grateful for every day Grandma Ruth is with us. I know her eyes are giving her trouble, and hearing conversations in a group environment is pretty much impossible now, but I'm so glad that she is still willing to attend our very loud family get togethers. I overhead Grandma talking to my mom about mom's (I think the word she used) progeny. My mom kind of laughed and alerted Grandma to the fact that she's just as much behind the numbers. I think it must have felt pretty special for them both to look at a room swarming with children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren that were theirs.
Also celebrating a birthday the day after Grandma was my beautiful niece, Saffy. I know birthdays are a big deal to kids, so I hope she felt special and celebrated too.
