My grandmother turned 80 years old in April. 80 glorious years as Matriarch of the Toh Family celebrating her milestone with a loving gathering of family members at the chinese restaurant at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore. Her last birthday celebration can be found HERE.
My grandmama's brother and sister-in-law flew in from Perth to celebrate her birthday with her. It was such a touching scene to see everyone gathered together to celebrate a life where a kind woman named Nancy brought up 2 daughters and 2 sons which in turn gave her 12 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren (mine!)
I find this picture remarkably touching too because not only it shows how tenderly old my grandmother has become with her silver head - which happens to run in the family btw.. heh! heh!! I want a silver head next time too!! And something to note too - My little button nose came from my grandmama! We have the same flat button nose with triangular nostrils.. heh heh... what a thing to inherit but yea...
