My beautiful Mamaw turns 89 today! This is the woman who has nurtured me and taken care of me my whole life. I lived with her until I was 8 and she has always been the woman I look up to the most. It is by her example that I learned almost everything I know. She taught me to be a graceful and caring woman, she showed me how to love unconditionally and without judgment, and most of all she led me to be a strong Christian woman.
On a less mushy note, we share a little bit of the airhead gene, and she taught me to be able to laugh at myself for that. She taught me to cook and to garden, and to take care of people. She's the mother of nine, a mamaw to nearly 50 grands and great-grands, and an "adopted grandma" to many more.
Isn't she precious? She is a ton of fun in a very small package. I'm so happy to still have her in my life and glad to share her with my bloggy friends!
Happy 89th Birthday, Mamaw!
Your Mamaw is precious! Such a sweet picture of you two...I was really close to my Mamaw before she passed in December so I know what a special relationship you share. :)
