Today is G.G.'s 81st birthday! It's so hard to believe it's been a year since her amazing surprise birthday party. If you haven't seen those pics, go to my "Pea Family Photos" page and scroll down. It was such an amazing, wonderful, happy weekend full of precious memories!
Our precious G.G. is still hanging in there, being a trooper! I spoke to her on the phone today. She is speaking well and loves to hear from friends and family via the phone. She is hooked on watching our Texas Rangers! She never enjoyed baseball that much until this summer. She and Mammy (Jon's mom) are watching every game possible. We have to find her a jersey, probably needs to be a button-up, that she can wear during the games. Help me be on the lookout for one! :)
I received a precious picture of her, in her wheelchair (she's been bed ridden for months now). It was so awesome to see her sweet smile. She was rolled into the kitchen (her favorite place in the house). She loves to look out her kitchen's bay window onto the golf course and watch the players. I will always picture her there, at her table watching the golfers with her telly running sports programs!
Brian (Jon's uncle) surprised her with a short visit from Austin this weekend. She got flowers and a laptop for her birthday from the sweet Freidell family (Brian, Kim and cousins, Chase and Brandon). She can use it while she's laying in bed. Maybe it will give her a change of scenery. She said she's getting a little tired of looking at her fireplace!
She has a lot of spirit and hope. She talks about her sweet kids, grands, and great-grands and is so thankful and blessed to have been such a huge part of their lives. She said she hopes she's walking next year on her birthday. I told her I would be happy just to have her for her next birthday! :)
Her hospice aide (I don't know her actual job title), Katherine, is becoming very close to the family. She's been wonderful and we hope to have her around for a long time. G.G. is very comfortable with her. I know it is a huge blessing to have a caregiver that every one loves.
She continues to need prayers. She has good days and bad days, of course. We're just so happy to have her in our lives! Thank you for all of the love and prayers! It is appreciated more than words can say!
