A Little "Sunshine" on a Cloudy Day


"You are my sunshine" will always be our Grandma song. She sang it a million times & rocked us a million miles to that tune! Today is Grandma's birthday, 97 years. What an amazing woman & we are so thankful for ALL the memories. "No tears" she always told us, but sometimes it is hard. Just thought we needed a little sunshine on a cloudy day!

This picture was taken a few years ago on her 94th. So blessed to have her for so long- we were spoiled rotten & loved every minute of it, & she did too!

She is missed, more than we can even talk about still. She lives in our hearts & will always be with us. We are reminded of her in the little things that bring a smile & even tears. Look around today & see where you see her. Ask yourself, "what do you feel?" & know that the answer will always be, "I feel LOVE!" It might be a yellow lawn chair, a sniff of Vick's Vapor Rub, the theme song to Matlock, while you're eating a porkchop or watering your cucumber plants- she is there! We smile & we feel "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!"

  1. You got me! I did not find this until Aug. 2.
    I talked with Tyler about the chairs on Friday and just smiled. Yesterday I made peace by said her new birthday is April 15 since she is a new creation since then.
    Today as I look at the pic and read the memories, tears roll down my cheeks but I smile.

    We are all bless to have been loved by g'ma....she set the bar high for all of us.
