My grandfather's hundredth birthday was August 3. He has been gone since 1986, but we know he is close at hand, guiding us and protecting us through this life. So we celebrated his life and his influence in ours by...eating chocolate! Opa loved chocolate. Rita and her family put on a spread of chocolate that strengthened my belief in heaven. Because if Opa wasn't somewhere really, really heavenly right now, he would have definitely come back from the dead to partake of this beautiful array of chocolate.
The party was at Uncle Jim and Aunt Da's house in Holladay. Da makes the BEST pad thai and the best mangoes and sticky rice. She and Jim worked hard to host. Thank you!
