my grandmother (gigi as she is now called by her great-grandchildren) has probably been the most influential woman in my life. she is nothing short of amazing. as she approaches her 90th year of living, i am in awe at her grace, wit, style and attitude towards life. she always looks for the positive in the world and is full of encouragement. she understands the art of friendship and is the first to support anyone around her in need. she is in tune with the world we live in and keeps up to date on politics, the latest trends, current "must reads" and of course, the lives and happenings of her family members.
in june, i had the honor of traveling with ellie to niagara falls to celebrate this amazing woman that i call grandma. it was a weekend filled with fun: aunts/uncles, 10 grandchildren, most of their spouses (that somehow fit seamlessly into our crazy family), 13 out of the 15 great-grandchildren, and the queen gigi. and it was nothing short of wonderful!
