The woman above is my last surviving grandparent. She has had three kids who gave her eight grandchildren in addition to other great- and even great-great-grandchildren. She has spent her life taking care of people - always remembering birthdays, playing Yahtzee with us when we were little, and helping us to keep up with the rest of the family. She has also lived without her beloved husband since before I was born. No one has ever heard her say a profane word - though she spelled one once (and she smelled it before that) - despite having to put up with the rest of us. She even refrained from killing my dad when he did stupid things as a kid. I am thankful for my grandma. She is an example of patience, endurance, and loving-kindness.
Oh, and she does not seem to mind us calling her "G."
