Happy Birthday Mamaw!


My Mamaw Felter, my Mom's Mom, turns 80 this month. She is one of my favorite people in the world. She likes me a great deal as well.
My daughter is named for her. And Mamaw introduces Princess H to everyone as,"My namesake."
When I was little my Mamaw was loud, and stubborn and she never stopped talking...She was actually a great deal like me! What do you think about that?
About 10 years ago she had a stroke and since then she has been much quieter and what everyone considers "SWEET." I tell her not to let it bother her. I know that she is just as spunky as ever. :) Who wants to be sweet after all?
Anyway, I love her. She is my Northern Star. She is wonderful. Happy 80th Birthday Mamaw!

All of my grandmothers are long gone...it's good that Super Z and Princess H have Mamaw to love them. Now that I'm a grandfather (gasp!), I know it's a great job to have. Happy birthday Mamaw Felter!

Happy Birthday to your grandmother!
I'm so glad that I still have both my grandmothers and that Aaron has had a chance to know them. One is 92 and the other 85 but both are just as fit as ever....even though slower and quieter, just like your grandmother.

I am truly jealous that you have your Mamaw to love. I hope I live long enough (and stay well) to be able to leave something in life for my gr gr kids -- 3 of my 4 grandparents were long gone by the time I hit the ground running -- but one grandmother was around, but not really in mind right.
