“There’s a world of wisdom in our personal stories. Your life is a legacy, a gift that only you can give.” —Dolly Berthelot

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the lovely lady who taught me how to both knit and crochet, drink coffee with class (and with the proper amount of cream), and barter with garage-sale hosts.

She fostered my love for Alan Jackson and encouraged me to be myself.

I owe many things, including my thrift-store prowess, knack for collecting, and unflinching love for family, to my Grandma Vivian.

This photo with her parents was taken on her 16th birthday. ~shared by @melislynn
