It would have been my Grandmother's Birthday Today! You never forget. You remember their laugh. You remember their delight at what you did as a child. You remember the unconditional support. It was special. So on her special day every year I always think of her. I know there have been events in my life where she has tap danced in heaven. I know she has been on the sidelines cheering me on. I know that January 3 is always special to me. She'll be on my mind as I go through the day. I realize all the ways I am so much like her.
I'm glad I got to see her run a small business, own her own home, do things her own way on her own terms. She was a renegade in her own time.
There is hardly a day that goes by that I do not think of her or my Grandparents. I wonder how many times she will scroll by on my laptop photo screen saver? I bet a little more than usual!
Happy Birthday to my Grandmom! Yep, I can hear the tap dancing.
