Happy Birthday Grandma H.

Yesterday would have been my Grandma H's birthday. After dinner Aliya and I ran to Cub Foods and she helped pick out a yummy cupcake to take to grandma's grave site. Aliya has been with me both times I have visited grandma's grave since her passing. I told her that today is GG's birthday and we were going to sing Happy Birthday to her. Now, since grandma passed I've told her that GG (great grandma) is with Jesus, so I think I completely threw her for a loop when I said we were going to go sing to her.

Once at the cemetery we walked around trying to find grandma's stone. The last time we were there they hadn't laid the sod yet, so her plot was very easy to find, this time, not so much! We walked right by it three times before I finally had to call Jon AND my Uncle to ask for help locating her spot. Aliya walked around yelling, "Dammaw, are you?" it was super cute! Once we found it we each took a seat on the grass and I lit the candle. Aliya and I sang three rounds of "Happy Birthday" and Aliya blew the candle out all three times. I cried as we sang.

We left the cupcake and candle by her name. I hope to make this an annual trip...I want Aliya to remember her GG so badly it hurts. I miss her so much.

Happy Birthday Grandma! We love you and miss you!!!
