things i want to tell you

happy birthday, grandma

today, my grandma would be 101.

she was born april 2, 1913.

her name is catherine, like mine.

when her first grandchild, my cousin shelly,

attempted to say "grandma catherine"

it came out "grandma kacky" {yes, like khaki}

and that became her name.
