Inspiringly

Remembering this lovely lady on St. Patrick's Day.  Today would have been her 111th birthday if I did my math right.

Most people look at her and see a grandma.  But I don't.  When I was a kid, I would hang out with her after church.  There was one time, I can't remember what my mom asked, but this sweet lady answered, "Just us kids."  After that, I always called her "Kid." 

Even though she's been gone many years now, thinking of The Kid always brings a smile to my face.

As seen at her birthday party on St. Patty's Day, 2005.

I went looking for her obituary because I couldn't remember how long she has been gone.  I don't even remember writing the following on her tribute page, but it pretty much sums up our relationship.
