A Celebration of Life @ 90!!!

My Grandma turned 90 on Thursday, August 13. She is the STRONGEST person I know. She has survived an abusive marriage, rasing 3 young boys on her own, manual labor, the great depression, war, poverty, not one but two leg amputations, a stroke, staff infection and now cancer of the liver and stomach. She has been told to expect the worst on numerous occasions and has shocked us all with her will and determination. She is still 100% here mentally her struggle now is the pain. Hospice came in one her birthday to administer a morphine patch to help keep her comfortable. We are hoping to do these family get togethers once every 3-4 weeks to keep her looking forward to something! Enjoy the random shots I took of the day!
