Yesterday we were privileged to take Jason’s grandmother out for a birthday lunch. On Sunday, the 31st of July, she will turn 80 years old. She is the epitome of class. Her life is filled with great accomplishments and stories of love and romance. She has been a nurse, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and now a great-grandmother. Only last year did she loose her partner in life, Don Burgbacher, to a quick terminal cancer. She is strong, but misses him so. There is not ever a time that we don’t talk about him when we visit. She takes me around her cottage showing me all the gorgeous pictures of she and him when they were younger. They look as if something right out of a classic with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. Time with her is so special, you would think I would make more time to be over there. And every time I leave I say I will try harder. WHY is that? Things come in and crowd out importance to easily. Priorities must be weighed every day!! I want my boys to remember all their family….memories for many decades. Here is the gorgeous lady and 2 of her Birthday dates:
