a balloon named grandma.


ready for a cute story (that might make you a little teary)?

I was talking to my cousin courtney today who cares for my grandmother (and has a 5 yo little girl.. Berit). Grandma is a pretty amazing little lady with a zest for life even in her 91 years.

Berit, a character of a little girl, talks about how she wishes grandma was young and could play more with her. So, she blew up a balloon, painted a happy face with rosy cheeks on it (no glasses) and announced to her mom, "this is young grandma." She proceeded to carry the balloon with her throughout the day and mentioned how she isn't sick, doesn't need glasses and can dance around with her. Furthermore, she often talks about how it will be ok when Grandma goes to heaven....She will get to dance with the angels. Adorable.

We should all take a moment and think like a child...


ps. this photo is from her 90th bday party... Berit wanted her dressed in pink... WITH a crown!
