10-10-10

That date is significant for more than just it being October 10, 2010. My grandmother Milady Martin was born on October 10, 1910. If she was still with us today, we would be celebrating her 100th birthday.

As a kid, I thought it was the neatest thing that her birthday was 10-10-10. When I was really young, she had a stroke and after that Grandma Milady always had trouble remembering things. However, despite her forgetfulness, she always knew her birthday.

Here is the last picture I have with both of my dad's parents: Papa and Grandma Milady...this picture was taken in April 1987. In December of that year, my Papa passed away, but it was several years later that my Grandma Milady left us. I know my mom has pictures of her as we got older, but this is the only picture I have at my house....

Until next time...Gig'em!
