Happy Birthday, Grandma!


My grandmother turned 98 years young yesterday. She is an amazing woman. She's survived everything -- war, depression, immigration -- and managed to raise 8 children, 13 grandchildren, and maintain a happy marriage for over 75 years with my grandfather. Plus, she's the sweetest, most generous human being I've ever met. And I'm not just saying that because she's my grandmother.
