Happy Birthday...even though you've not been with us since May 2015: I still remember your beautifully smooth skin. I still remember you smelling like Red Door perfume. I still remember you telling me "I surely do" (about anything...you were always surely). I still remember all of us were your favorite. I still remember how you picked at the side of your pointer fingernail (especially when I do it). I still remember the joy you got at feeding family and friends (grateful to feel that joy). I still remember how "tickled" you got at your grandkids because we said the darnedest things (we are YOURs after all). I still remember celebrating your sweet 16 at least 10 times (despite not being alive when you really turned 16). I still remember Minnie the Moocher. When I try to "dumb down" my strong will, I remember you never did. You are the epitome of strength, grace, love, and power. Still. I love you Granny AKA Myrtle "Gant" Rye. #restinPOWER #ourblackisbeautiful
