Today is the birthday of my mother-in-law, Debbie,(a.k.a "Gramnell" at our house) For those of you that know what a super nice guy Brandon is, he got it straight from his mom. She is seriously one of the nicest people I know! She is a wonderful mom and is close to all 7 of her kids, who range in age from 34 (is that right, Michelle?) to 18 and are all very different! And as far as being a grandma goes, she is amazing. She makes all 5 of my kids feel special, and does super fun stuff with them whenever they are together. She is very selfless and giving. She is a wonderful cook and always puts together fabulous parties. She is also a great seamstress. She has made my kids awesome halloween costumes, and she made Phoebe's Little Miss Muffet dress when she was in Babes in Toyland. Mostly she is just fun to be around and is loved by all of us!
Debbie, I know you are having a rough week and may not even read this in the near future, but please know how much we all love you and appreciate every single thing you do for us. We hope your birthday is a good one, and we'll be thinking of you and praying for you all week.
