Today was my Grandma's birthday. She would have been 90. And it was a beautiful glorious day here for her. Sun shining, temperatures in the mid-seventies. I whispered happy birthday to her as I put on her ring and necklace this morning. I have sent her flowers every year on her birthday for a while now. When the email reminder came up this year on her birthday, it hurt my heart a little, until I decided to continue sending them anyway to honor her spirit. This year, to my Mom. Next year, maybe to someone else who needs a smile. I know Grandma would love this idea.
To celebrate this gorgeous day, Sarah Beth and I went to the playground early. It was packed with kids enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. Sarah Beth asked me to make a leaf pile for her to jump in. She hopped in with both feet and flung leaves in the air, laughing her silly cackling 3 year old laugh as they fell all over her dress. Striped leggings underneath, but a dress nonetheless. Great-Grandma would approve.
