Yesterday we had the great honor of helping Grandaddy celebrate his 95th birthday. He is one of the kindest men I've known. He has such a strong yet gentle soul. He and Nannie have the best example of a happy and everlasting marriage that I've ever been able to witness. They celebrated 68 years two weeks ago; they have loved one another and enjoyed one another every day of their marriage. H is a better person for having them play such important roles in her life. Both of us are thankful to have their love and example to rely on.The party was lots of fun with cake and ice cream enjoyed by all. We were in a big room at the nursing home, so the babies could run around and raise a ruckus. They had a good time making lots of noise and burning off the sugar they consumed. It was a special party.
Lucia's name comes from Grandaddy. It is a feminized version of his name, Lucius. Both names are derivations of Luke which means Light. Grandaddy's life always shines brightly and we are so thankful for him.
