Grandma Florence's 91st birthday - Life is a Party...Celebrate!

Last year, on Florence's 91st birthday, she said:

I have been blessed, and I want to bless you.

I want all of you to feel the joy that has come into my life as a result of knowing all of you, and what I want to share with all of you is that life is a party!

Make sure that you take every opportunity to celebrate, no matter what, celebrate! Make it a good time. Because what I have found out on my sleepless nights is that what I remember from my life are all the good times. The hell with the rest of them!

And also, what I find so rewarding is the kind of love that pours out into whoever you are, when you need that love, when it becomes palpable and you are able to stick your fingers into it and say "Okay, I'm ready, I accept. It's good, thank you."

Take advantage of all the love that you're accumulating throughout your life. It comes in handy.

Look at this party! How could it have happened? At any rate, I feel blessed by all of you. I feel that my life is a blessing because of all of you.

-Dr. Florence Gross Lazere Molomut Ross, November 6, 1919 - May 8, 2011. Her light shines on.
