This past weekend was my grandma's seventy-third birthday, we celebrated with a small chocolate fudge cake and obviously singing"Happy Birthday! " Usually our family birthday gatherings include my mom, my dad, my older sister, her fiancée, their daughter, my little brother, my boyfriend, my grandma and of course me. Unfortunately, (and at the same time very fortunately) this little get together only included my sister, brother, grandma, my mom and myself. For once this kind of calmed down our family gathering. I am grateful that my grandma has shaped herself more and more into our crazy family antics, sometimes she is the one causing the antics!
I am proud to say that my grand mother is one of my greatest role models. She has accomplished so many great things in life. I admire her greatly for her big heart for family and even her friends and acquaintances. She would take the shirt off her back for anyone, I also know for a fact that she does and always will always put others before herself and she would do everything she possibly can for people in need. I can not think of a single time that I have needed my grandma that she has not been there for me or the people in my life. I am also very lucky, my grams is definitely the coolest grandmother I have ever met!
I am grateful for her being able to attend all of the soccer and softball games I have played, all of my band and chorus concerts and drama performances, there have been several of all of those through out the years. This doesn't even include all of the other sports events and concerts my siblings have been a part of also! She is a very busy grandma!! One thing I will never be able to thank my grandma enough for is how dedicated she is to helping my sister and I fight our toughest against our illnesses, cyclic vomiting syndrome and abdominal migraines. She has been there for several doctors appointments and many, many hospital visits. She is always there to comfort me when I feel like I no one. I consider my grandma to be on of my best friends. We always like to gossip, especially about our crazy, nut job of a family we have.
I feel that people should always have the best possible relationship with their family and friends because you never know what could happen, one day they could be gone in a blink of an eye and you are going to wish you said "I love you" one more time. No matter who it is to me, if I truly love and care for someone I make sure that they know it. I hope that my grandma knows how much I love and look up to her, I hope to be just like her someday. I love you so much, grandma! I hope you had an amazing birthday!
