Last Thursday we had the privilege of attending Methodist Healthcare's 2009 Living Awards dinner/ceremony where they honored my 98 year old great-grandmother (aka "Bubba") for her 6000+ hours/ 30+ years of volunteer work at Methodist Hospital downtown. It was a very special night. We all dressed up, Dylan looked so handsome in his 3pc suit and Bubba looked beautiful in her evening gown. I was so proud to tell everyone I met who I was there to see (to be able to claim such an inspiring, amazing, wonderful person as my great grandmother leaves me feeling very blessed indeed). Before she was given her award, they played a video showcasing Bubba's work at the hospital. It was so well done and Chris and I were very touched to see a picture of Bubba holding Cedie at LeBonheur Hospital in the video. To know Cedie was part of the night as well made it even more special. Dylan got to help escort Bubba to the stage. He was so excited, especially when he got to hold her big award (he later tells me it was very heavy). All I had was my camera with me (not a video camera) but I did my best to record her acceptance speech. The audio part isn't great but it is very funny to watch Dylan as he inches closer and closer to Bubba and then to the edge of the stage while showing off the award during her speech.

Below is a link to the montage I made of the pictures we took and the video I tried to make.

WOW!! That is amazing, she is an amazing lady. I should tell my grandma what your amazing great grandma has done at her age where mine is much younger and doesn't do anything!! LOL!
I have to admit I teared up knowing there was a picture of Cedie in the video for her, I am such a sap and I just read it and didn't see it.
Congrats to Bubba,
Crystal and Eva
