Happy 90th Birthday, Omi Hilde!

March 31st, 2011 by ninja


Thanks to Sung, who took care of the kids last week, i was able to attend my grandmother’s 90th Birthday in person. Omi Hilde has been an important part of my life from day one, and we have grown very close through countless childhood summer vacations, grownup visits, and frequent phone calls. She is my confidante and inspiration*, and i know how lucky i am to have her around throughout my life to date. Happy Birthday, Omi Hilde!

* Check out the picture of her at age 16, taken the Summer she received her DLRG rescue swim certificate. The year after, she met my grandfather and the rest is history…
