My husband’s best friend in the whole, wide world was his Grandma Ruth. I was lucky enough to meet her when Chris and I first became friends in the year 2000 (hehe… how many of you just thought of Conan O’Brien?). She was a HUGE part of our life. I knew, without a doubt, that if I were ever a horrible enough person to make Chris choose between me or Granny, I would lose miserably. She had a heart of gold, a thick German accent, and was full of piss and vinegar. We lost her last November and we miss her terribly. Our life now has a hole in it, and it feels sad and strange. We are doing our best to fill that hole with happy thoughts and memories of her. Today is her Birthday. I have been thinking of her all day, so it seems appropriate to make today’s blog a short photo tribute.
Here she is… The lady, the legend, Granny Ruth.
Happy birthday Granny Ruth. We love you, and we miss you.
XOXO

I never realized how much Chris looked like Granny until I saw that last picture. Happy Birthday, Granny! We miss you too :(
While I didn't know her personally, I can see how wonderful she was and how loved she was. I love the juxtaposition between the first and second pictures - Granny with flowers, then Granny with shotgun!! I also loved the one with the squirrel - classic. She's with you in spirit! Much love, Keri
Granny Ruth was so adorable! How awesome to be so close to a grandparent :)
oh i love granny ruth!! what a gorgeous spitfire of a woman! happy day of remembrance and good celebrations.
Very nice baby! There never will be another Granny Ruth. I've had a lot of good friends and family, but her and I fell from the same nutty tree. I miss her with all my heart. She's my hero!
