Today is Papaw's 90th birthday so we spent the afternoon celebrating him with our dear family. He was sleeping in his bed in the living room as we all piled in around him. It felt kind of awkward to me, sitting around him chit chatting with everyone while he just laid there unaware of what was going on. Curtis' sister brought him balloons and tied them to his bed. When he woke up, he did notice the balloons but he had no idea what they were for. His little body just looks more and more fragile each time we see him. He spoke up and sang us a few songs, mumbled some things, and Mamaw fed him his lunch and some birthday cake.

He seemed to eat well. It was quite a sight, seeing Mamaw feed him and tend to his needs. My heart was aching for her. What a women she is! Taking care of her man until the very end. Whatever obstacles are in her way, she just moves around them and keeps on providing for his needs. I don't know that I've ever seen a better example of a true Christian women. Her duties are difficult, her days are long, and her heart is pure. She radiates beauty. She is the wife and mother that the Lord finds pleasing. She is what young women should strive for. I was so blessed today to share these special memories with my family. The children were blessed to see true love at it's finest and witness a loyalty that even time can't destroy. Papaw is surely a blessed man for having such a devoted women to cherish him forever.
