(Of course -- you know I relate to that, as it's a major theme in my own writing.) What a gift you have in your grandmother - and what a gift you are passing along to your little girl. I too have a relatively small family (mostly because of distance or death rather than actual head count), and I never really considered the premise that those who who celebrate with are somehow more precious, and the relationships that much richer, too. Happy '09, my friend. I love this story, and the theme of the richness in what you have, versus lamenting what you don’t have.

I don't have any grandparents any more...I only have memories of the good times and some of those are starting to fade away as I get older (I lost all of grandparents by time I was 18). And most of their shared wisdom I was too young to appreciate. Give Ruthie a hug for me because even in words, your words, I can tell she's the best Gramma ever! :) Amber, what a great story!

Your grandmother sounds like a wonderful woman. So nice of you to write such a tribute for her while she's still here. Most don't do that until it's too late.

My own Nana turns 91 on January 10th. She's the most vibrant, alive person I've ever met in my life. She makes the 70 year olds in her retirement community look like old people. Yeah, it's hard to see those vulnerabilities - those moments... But just think about how amazingly lucky we are!! Our daughters have met these amazing women. We are so very lucky. (((((hug)))))) Hold tight to her - my Nana is in Dallas and I'm in Denver - if I could I'd see her every day. Merry Christmas! That was lovely.
