A Very Special Day

Today was an ordinary day...exceptI got to spend it with my grandmama. It will definitely be a day that I will always remember and treasure. See, my dad's mom had him veeeery late in life, so she is the age of my great-grandparents on the other side. She is by far probably the most nice person I have ever met. These past few years have been hard, especially for my dad because her memory is going. Some days are better than the others.

Last time she got a perm it didn't hold so she's been scared to go back. Well, Sunday I mentioned to her that we were going to have a Girls Day and get her hair done at my hair place. We went and boy it took long, but it turned out great. I've been going over to her house every week or so and washing and pinning up her hair, so it was fun to go together and get her hair done.

Afterwards we went and ate with my dad. Did I mention I love Chinese food? Well, I do and apparently she does too. After that I went back and hung out with her at her house, which she absolutely loved because she lives there alone and gets lonely. We joked and she acted years younger than I've seen her act in awhile. She gets hung up on her age (90) and how she is one of the oldest people on the earth, which I always correct her about.

It's hard to exactly put into words how special today was to me. It just reminded me that life is short and that we all need to make the best of it. Don't take advantage of your family...they might not be here tomorrow. And love them like there's no tomorrow!!
