What birthday blessing would you send Grandpa John today?
Today he turns 107.
And I still need him.
This is my grandfather John.
He raised me after my mother passed, in the kind of way that didn’t ask for attention. He just showed up.
Every day.
Quietly. Faithfully. With steady hands, patient words, and that kind of love you don’t fully understand until you’re older.
He taught me more by how he lived than by any big speech.
How to keep going.
How to be gentle.
How to do the right thing when nobody is clapping for you.
So much of who I am came from him.
From his patience.
From his prayers.
From the way he made me feel safe when life didn’t.
And today, looking at him turning 107, I don’t take a single moment for granted.
Happy Birthday, Grandpa John.
You are loved more than words can hold. ❤️
Please leave him a birthday blessing today. 🙏
