Today is earthly birthday #98 for this beautiful lady! It is her first birthday in heaven and boy do we miss her. I imagine there is quite a party, with lots of singing and dancing.
Mom shared with me a story about Mamaw and a trip they took to the beach when she was growing up. Mamaw didn't care much for traveling. Mom said they got to the beach and Mamaw walked up the beach with her purse on her shoulder. Then they came back home. She didn't like it, so they just loaded back up in the car and came home.
I like to think I got some of her same sassy spirit. We had a tough weekend working at the house - long days and difficult decisions. I was tired and frustrated to the point of tears for the first time since we began this project. I am grateful for today, Mamaw's birthday, and a gentle reminder when things get hard and you just get your purse and go for a walk. Then, if it still doesn't feel right, it's okay to just go home.
Happy birthday, Mamaw! I love you and I miss you. 💜
