Jan 20 was Grandma's 100th birthday. Her health had been declining steadily and it was hard to know how to plan a birthday celebration. After much debate, it was decided that despite the fact that she might not be able to participate in the festivities, that we were going to acknowledge this very special milestone with a cake, some flowers, and candles, all featuring the colour pink, as that was her favourite colour.
However things took a decidedly different turn. As we arrived with cake and decorations in hand, we were greeted with the news, that after a few hours which decidedly proclaimed her a centenarian, she left us here, holding the cake so to speak, and went to her heavenly home where she could truly celebrate in vibrant health, with perfect eyesight and hearing, with Jesus, the angels, and her many friends and loved ones who are already enjoying life in the land where we'll never grow old.
Happy Birthday, Grandma!
