Birthdays with Grandma and Grandpa were just always special. Not because we did anything extravagant or had expensive gifts, but because Grandpa and Grandma had a way of making you feel extra special on your birthday. I loved all the cakes Grandma made over the years Panda bears, Princesses and Bunnies. We all were so excited just to see the cake.
It was my birthday this week and it was such a hard day because Grandpa left us to go back to heaven just last week. My first birthday without Grandpa was bittersweet with so many wonderful memories and funny stories that were so much apart of all that Grandpa was.
I smile even now thinking of how Grandpa sang me happy birthday when I was little and I would laugh. "Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. I went to the Zoo, and I saw a monkey that looked just like you."
