Meet my Mama Rena.
She is my grandmother. Funny thing is, she is actually my Dad's step mother. She never had any children. My dad is her only "step" child. And she was only married to my grandad for a little over a year before he passed (I was a baby). With all of this combined knowledge, you must also know that I am by far closer to her than any of my "blood" extended family. I love this woman. She is such a sweet, caring, compassionate, thoughtful and loving lady. I cannot imagine my life without her.
We had the privilege of going to her 90th birthday party a couple of weeks ago. On Jan 28th, she turned 90 years old! It's so unbelievable! She still lives by herself, although my parents have begged her for years to live with them. We had a great time. And she always loves the chance to show off her son, grandchildren and her prized great grandson!
Speaking of the little fella, they had a rocking chair just his size! He loved it! I had one like this as a baby, and we can't find it anywhere! I'm so afraid with all of the moves it has been misplaced. I do think it's time to get little man his own little chair!

It's interesting that you were closer to her than any other extended relative...I am very close to my aunts and uncles, but as for grandparents...I was closest to my stepdad's parents (my step-grandparents). Funny how that happens!
