89th Birthday

 
 
On Sunday we celebrated my grandmother's 89th birthday. You should have seen her. She was all dressed up and appeared ready to spend time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Beside her sat my 95 year old grandfather. I'm grateful that my children have an opportunity to spend time with their great-grandparents.

Visits are generally short, as are conversations. I'm learning that small gestures such as a hand on one's shoulder, or an unexpected smile shot in the right direction can sometimes say more than words. I think my grandparents said a lot that day.

    1. Thank you, Marie. I never noticed before, but my grandmother has beautiful hands. It's amazing what the camera catches that our eyes cannot. Thanks for visiting my blog.
