When I grew up, July 9th was a day we always always spent in our paradise. Celebrating my grandmother on her birthday. My grandfather would raise the flag and we would have friends and family over for coffee and strawberry cake. She was able to be there every birthday since I was born except for the last couple of years in her life. She did celebrate her 90th birthday there – with family traveling from all over Sweden to greet her and honor her.
This photo was taken back in 2004, on her 92nd birthday. Me and the boys went to greet her in her apartment in Enskede. It was a happy day and I am so glad that I could see her and that the boys could come along. I brought my camera and could save some memories to look at and help me remember that day. It is amazing how some people really make a huge impact on your life. I miss you, grandma, and I am so grateful for having you in my life and sharing so much with you. Hope you are safe and able to enjoy today – where ever you are. Happy birthday! Big hug!
