I love my Granny.

She celebrated her 90th birthday earlier this month, and this past weekend the family threw her a dinner. I couldn't make it, but with how much I chat with her, Im sure she understood.

So here is my homage to my Granny, who makes me crazy sometimes but whom I love dearly. Her high school graduation picture from 1938, and her diploma. Imagine being a black woman with a high school diploma in 1938! That astounds me.

Whenever Im frustrated about my own obstacles, I think about her life. I think the name of her High School says a lot of it. I have her diploma, my mother's and mine all shadow boxed hanging on my wall. I look at them everyday.

Love you Granny :)

    She's such a modern looking woman. Does she still have that timeless sort of beauty?
