Today would have been my grandmother's 95th birthday. She was a woman of stunning grace, eternal optimism and quiet strength. She taught me many lessons, many of which I'm just figuring out now. What a gift to pass on wisdom in a manner that unfolds even after your departure. But, she was like that.
Today, I'm going to sit quietly with a cup of tea from this treasured cup that was a gift from her. And then, I'm going to bake her famous sugar cookies.
Happy Birthday, GG.
