Fifty nine years ago, this wonderful lady was born.



And thirty eight years later, I had the privilege of becoming her first grandchild.

My mamaw is one of the most important people in my life. She taught me how to be the person I am today. I lived with her throughout the beginning of my life, and spent countless weekends and overnights with her after I had moved out. I am sad to say that we don't see each other nearly enough now that I am living 175 miles away, but it's like no time has passed at all when we are able to spend time together. I am so grateful for all that she has taught me, and I am truly blessed in being her granddaughter.

Happy Birthday, Mamaw! Here's to another happy and healthy 59 years! (:
