100 Not Out !

My Grandma (on my mother's side) turned 100 on the 29th of March, so we had a small family morning tea for her at the nursing home on the Sunday before.

She is quite frail, is bedridden and has almost no vision due to glaucoma and therefore wasn't able to enjoy her own party, but she was awake for most of it.

It wasn't a large turnout, as the family is scattered around the country now, but there were three of her children, eight of her grandchildren and two of her great-grandchildren there to celebrate, and another one of my cousins and his family visited her on her actual birthday the next day.

Here she is on the day, with two of her great-grandchildren, my daughter Cheyenne and my cousin Jodi-May's daughter Gemma.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Longevity seems to run in my family, as my other Gran (my father's mother) lived to be 101, although she was far more sprightly on her 100th birthday.
