I am, because they were
February 7th, would have been my maternal grandparent's 80th Wedding Anniversary if they were still living. Back in 1994 they celebrated their 50th anniversary. My grandpa would pass away 2 years later in 1996, making that extra special they got to celebrate it together.
My grandparents love has built and grown a beautiful family. They had 8 children, who had 33 grandchildren. From us 33 grandchildren there are 70 great grandchildren, my daughter Mya was number 63 for them back in 2019.
In one of the photos it features an article about my grandparents 50th Anniversary. It mentions my grandmother and her hobby of berry picking on the farm, and canning and making jam. My friend Jenna of Ink By Jen does amazing work and has done my other tattoos. I decided to get a raspberry tattooed in memory of her. Growing up all of us grandkids would spend time with her picking them at her bushes and would beg to have jars of her jam! I got the raspberry placed on my arm to symbolize us picking them with her.
I am, because they were.
