My role model

I am anxiously waiting to be a Grandma this month!  I can’t wait!  People ask me are you going to be a cool Grandma?  Well YES! I have quite the role model for a Grandmother!  I received an email this past week from my Aunt with a photo of my Grammy. Here it is:

She is 88 years old and decided to get a tattoo!

My Grammy Sophia Kaeser married Keith Kaeser 69 years ago this month.  He has always called her “Squeezy”.  They have lived a very happy healthy life and will be Great Great Grandparents any day!  They had 3 boys, my dad who is the oldest and who looks just like my Grammy.  I was their first Grandchild and being a girl that they always wanted, they got to name me.  Only my family calls me by that name though.  Kathleen..

My Grammy has always been a big part of my life.  I have everything she ever gave me.  My mom makes fun of the thing I have saved the longest, it’s an overnight bag.  Red, round and with my name inked on the front of it and it now sits next to my dresser.  She has made me knitted items and then gave my sister and I recently her knitting needles.  When I see her I listen intently to her stories so I always remember them.  She and my Grampy think the world of my husband and say to me we are just like them!  Such a compliment!

My Grammy has taught me to enjoy life and keep healthy.  She walks miles each week, tap dances with younger women and socializes as much as possible.  She stays young and happy.

Maybe my grandson will call me Grammy
