Happy Birthday, Momma

Today would have been Momma's 64th birthday. I miss her so much and I often think of how much she would have loved Emmy Ruth (& Sol & Rose Ryan). It's a tough line for me to know how to tell Emmy about her Yia Yia so that she can know about her but then not to be weird. Tonight we had cupcakes and ice cream for Yia Yia's birthday. When we went to the store, Emmy picked out the pinkest, princessest cupcakes there. She told me that they were "for my girl". I think Emmy nailed it with that. Yia Yia would have been her girl.
I let her have a cupcake before dinner tonight and John told me it was fine since our moms certainly would have let her done it.

What a great idea, I may have to steal it. Bless your heart. Hope it wasn't too rough on you. Rhonda
