This time last night, Robert and I were guests at an amazing birthday party. Yesterday was, in fact, Robert’s grandmother’s 90th birthday. It was quite the event. It was not a huge party. It was not a black tie party. But it was a fabulous party.
Grandmama was joined by her best friend and surrounded by her family. As I talked with Grandmama and her friend before dinner I thought about what all these women have seen in their 90 years. Plenty of bad, lots of good. Pain and joy, happy and sad. I am sure their experiences run the gamut of human emotion.
I am happy to report that there was nothing but love and happiness as we gathered to celebrate Grandmama’s monumental birthday. If I am lucky enough to make it to 90, I will be sitting with my best friend surrounded by my family to celebrate. It sounds pretty good to me!
