For as long as i can remember, Grandma Edue would be so excited when my birthday came round. She would never miss a chance to call me on my birthday and send me a birthday card with a token of her love in it. I quickly realised in my teens that Grandma Edue had a deep affection for me as I realised she was the one person that wherever she was in the world, would make it a priority to call me and send me a birthday card.

I am saddened that my birthday in July would have been the last time she would call me to wish me a heartfelt happy birthday. Perhaps if i knew it was the last, I would have stayed on the phone longer talking to her.

Nevertheless, I am grateful for the fond memories I have of her. I will miss her dearly. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
