Grandma, today you would have celebrated your 100th birthday. I would have loved to have seen you make it to such a milestone but you have been gone for nine years now. There isn’t a day where I do not think about you and all the memories we shared. I often bake your oriole chocolate cake to slip back into my childhood to remember all of the birthday celebrations when you baked my favorite cake. I crave the way you baked your cake, only wishing mine tasted as good. Today, I will think of you more often and will plant another gardenia in your loving memory.
I miss you more than you know. Happy 100th Birthday.
This was taken the day after my Junior Prom on Mother’s Day, 1999.
My first Birthday
My Aunt, Dad and Grandma
