If it isn't clear my BFF is my Grandma, and yes, she knows what BFF means. She never fails to give me someone to talk to and is always interested in my life. She is the most caring person I know and always wants the best for not only her family but acquaintances. I wish her the very best of birthday and I know 92 will be another year of growing and learning new things to prepare her for 93!
She keeps me updated
With politics...
The government...
the stock market...
...and with our family all over the country
She is the funniest 92 year old ever
In fact, she is one of the funniest people I know
She has no clue how funny she is
She hates dogs
but secretly loves my dog
She will never admit that she loves my dog
She prefers desserts over dinner
She has waffles for dinner
She doesn't make me feel bad about getting 7 different desserts on my plate at family events...
...Because she puts 8 desserts on hers
She makes moistest cakes
and the cheesiest potatoes Au Gratin
Shes still a kid at heart
She still enjoys Christmas morning...
And all the gifts
She'll keep me company when I'm bored
Calls me when she misses me
And I can always rely on her answering me when I miss her
She has the comfiest sweaters
and the softest pink jacket
She loves the color Pink
and turquoise
She can clean up all the papers on her desk in a day
and then make a mess of the desk the next day
She is content as long as she has a book...
in the car
on the beach
in bed
on an airplane
in her garden
92 doesn't stop her from gardening
She hates weeds
And loves Azaleas
She has MANY talents...
like setting her security alarm off and not being able to hear it
making a boiled egg explode
She has lift to go up and down her stairs, but she just walks
And she knows how to tell a telemarketer to leave her alone!
but most impressive is she donates to every cause she can
Diabetes
Kappa Delta PCAA
and of course the republicans
She always sits in the back seat
Because the passenger seat is the "death seat"
Everyone, who is anyone, loves her
My friends...
Neighbors...
Bank Tellers...
And even the grumpiest TSA agent
Every family vacation I share a room with her
And she makes sure to bring an endless supply of snacks
She puts two things in a drawer and its officially hers
She is always willing to try new foods
Even if she has no clue what it is.
I swear thanksgiving she experimented with more foods than me
She likes a strawberry with every bite of cereal
She has 0 filter...
And rather than making people mad, she just makes them laugh
She will watch award shows
Even if she has no idea what's going on in current media
She loves to feel young
91 is young, 92 is old
She always clarifies she is NOT 92
She's always down to have a glass of pink moscato
She loves watching football...
...even thought she cant follow the ball
Basketball is another one of grammys favorites...
...because she can follow the ball
2 Madeline cookies are just enough for breakfast
and so is a piece of cake
She loves watching new shows and trying new things
She is completely against learning new pop culture
She TRIES to keep up with the latest gossip in the Hollywood world
She has the comfiest guest beds
She is incredibly supportive
She attended my high school graduation
All my dance recitals
My senior fashion show
She loves watching me achieve my goals
She always has to match her outfit of the day to her shoes
92 doesnt stop her from being stylish
Poka dots are one of her favorites
Her care packages to me at college come with all the necessary necessities
like tissues....
Jelly Beans...
and little notebooks she receives in the mail
She loves me with all her heart and never fails to show it
92 will never stop her from living like she's 25 and enjoying every second she has on this Earth!
Happy birthday, Grammy! I hope 92 treats you as well as 91, 90, 89... etc. etc. Love you very much and wish I were there to celebrate with you! <3
