Have you ever met a person that is completely skilled at offering you a compliment that is a thinly veiled put-down? My
grandma is the master of the compliment put-down. She'll tell you that you are looking so healthy and glowing, but it's too bad you'll have to buy bigger clothes. And she'll end with "bless your heart". But, bless her heart, I love her to death.
Grandma is one of my true heroes. She has lost one sister, two brothers, both parents, a husband, an infant child, and a grown child (my dad)...and yet she has always just gone on living life. I don't know how she does it. She lives with two of her grown sons (one who is mentally handicapped) still keeps house and does all the cooking and cleaning, even though it's long past time for someone to be doing that for her and give her a break. She still bakes and sews and drives...even though she's never had her license (shhh...don't tell the cops). And one thing she has done for as long as I can remember is always, always remember everyone's birthday and anniversary. I don't know how many cards she sends each month, but chances are if you've ever met Grandma (even once) and she found out your birthday, she'll send you a birthday card every year until you die.
Grandma doesn't know much about this newfangled intrawebz stuff, but she is fascinated by it. She and I talk via telephone 2 or 3 times a week, and almost every conversation includes her saying "tell me something new you've learned from your internet friends". She's always loved meeting and learning about everyday ordinary people from all walks of life from all over the globe. So, I'd like to do a card shower for Grandma's birthday so she can get some hellos from lots of new people!
Grandma's birthday is April 1st (yep April Fool's Day). What I'm asking of my GoN friends is for everyone who is able to please send Grandma a birthday card. She is the one in the family who always remembers everyone else's birthday, but rarely do others return the favor to her. So...whaddya say? Show an old gal some love?
If you can send Grandma a card, please PM me for her address. Thanks!!! (more)
