Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Its an amazing day today.

Despite my lack of experience (in anything!), not much amazes me anymore.

But this does.

My Grandma turned 71 today. She's old.

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I think about stuff, like the makeup of the earth, the ozone layer, random stuff. Tonight, I thought about what my Grandma has done & seen in those 71 years.

Did you know she's met the Pope?

And hosted a party for Lady Di?

Did you know she was in East Germany when the Berlin Wall was still up?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my Grandma is a wonderwoman. Even at this age, she's still working, she still takes care of this mammoth house, but she doesn't cook anymore. She looks 20 years younger than her age, and the only thing that has you realising her age is her limp.

A limp. The only sign of her age.

And she's still going strong. At 71. When most people have resigned to a life of a vegetable.

Happy Birthday, Grandma! I love you more than the endless bounds of the universe, and you know it! May the Lord bless you forever!
