And the Celebration Continues!!

Today's the day, the big Eight-OHHHH!!!

Grammapat,

We love the way you smile at children and that sassy look when we're teasing you.

We love your style, your dedication, your kind and gentle heart and the diligence with which you seek to bring peace to others wherever you go.

We look up to you, we admire you and we are grateful every day for you.

We respect you for the many years that you have faithfully served others.

You are an amazing cook, and you could keep anyone's books straight!

It has always seemed as if there's nothing you could not do if you put your mind to it!

In this very room, you taught children as far back as 65 years ago, and here you are on your birthday....touching the lives of so many children! Yay you!!!!!!

You always express how you wish you could be more or do more or be like someone else who's doing more...but you are perfectly perfect as you, and we think you are simply fabulous just as God made you! You are the most incredible 'go-go granny' in the whole wide world!

Happy, happy 80th...and many more!!!!!!!!

...and since you're my mom and you wanted to know...yes, I do feel better today. Just another thing I love about you...you always care....
