Today is my grandmother's 84th birthday. Dorothy Fussell, MaMa to her grandkids, and GrandMaMa to my kids. MaMa is so incredibly sweet and kind - she's just wonderful. I'm so lucky to have her in my world, and I'm so thankful that my girls know her and love her. Many of my favorite childhood memories include her - Sunday School at her church (she was a teacher), tv dinners and Chek drinks, lots of homemade ice cream (black walnut is a family favorite), summers camping, her letting me lay on the pew with my head in her lap during church (I would not let my kids get away with this!), week long trips to Mississippi to visit with her mom (MaMa Berry), and on and on. She stayed at home with 6 kids, and after staying home just with my 2, I know what a huge job that was. And of course, putting up with my crazy PaPa, who I also love dearly, even when he drives everyone nuts, I just laugh. There is no doubt a very special place reserved just for her when she gets to heaven, just for being married to Harold for 62 years! haha! I love her so much, and I am lucky enough to get to tell her that all the time.
