Today we celebrated my Uncle Bob's 91st birthday at his home in Berea. Mother is the youngest of 13 children born to my granny (Martha Davis). Everyone called her "Ma Davis" and she was a Godly woman that spoke out in church by raising her hand high and testifying to how good God was to her and her family. Everyone smiled to themself when Ma Davis stood up to tell anyone who would listen about her Heavenly father. So, tonight, the night before Grandparent's Day, I "raise my hand" to Heaven and thank God for the inheritance left to my mom, to me, and we will leave to Jason and Becky, and Becky to Austin, Matthew, and Maggie. None of us are rich in dollars but rich in faith. For this faith in God, a price tag cannot be placed. Thanks granny....I loved you then and love you still. I hope my grandkids can say that about Nana.
Anyone that knows Uncle Bob knows he is a true "character". He is so funny. He has so many sayings...one is "you know you broke the law, you're prettier than the law allows"...when he is speaking to any lady. Today he told me something like this..."do you know why you are pretty? It's because you're so sweet" or similar words. He always knows how to make you feel special. We all think HE is special. The photo above is he and Aunt Louise.
