What a wonderful post! Mom would have loved to have heard you pass on the birthday song she taught you. I am so grateful and thankful that my grandma is in heaven with our Lord and Savior today. I miss her humor, her wisdom, her wonderful laughter, her unshakable faith in the Lord, her joy in my successes, and sympathy when I needed that, too. My goodness, it made my heart ache for her. And, I couldn't help but think of how pleased she would have been to have heard her granddaughter singing it to a new generation of students. What is so sweet, is that, even though they are 10-11 years olds, they love to learn this little song and always want it sung to them.Īs soon as I started singing it today, I fully realized today's date. This early in the year, they are just learning the words themselves. It just so happened that I had student who had a birthday today, so I sang it to her. I call it "My Cheesy Little Birthday Song" which, of course, leads into the traditional verse that they all know. ![]() I sing this little birthday song she taught us to my own students whenever one of them has a birthday. Grandma, also, taught us some songs that I don't really know where she had learned them. Thankfully this was small town country living and no one objected to the religious songs we were taught. She taught us so many songs.We Gather Together, Beautiful Ohio, etc. Grandma was a very talented musician who took great advantage of her musical class. ![]() There was a larger majority of girls in our class who just happened to love to sing. My grandma was my third and fourth grade teacher. ![]() Most of my elementary years were spent in a double classroom. I had the tremendous blessing of attending school in a little country school near my home.
