My grandpa (father side) will be 73 on February 14. Yes, he shared birthday with Valentines! When we’re still kids, on his birthday, all of his children and grandchildren will gather around to celebrate his special day. I love our grandpa whom we fondly call “Tatay Wennie”. He’s a farmer, a Barangay Healthworker and most of all; he’s a strong man of God. He’s considered a hero in his town because he helped delivered babies who the midwives find difficult. In fact, he delivered almost all of his grandkids! We’re blessed to have a grandpa like him. I'm so thankful to have a grandfather like him. There is no other who could fill his shoes.
A lot of history is covered over my grandpa’s 73 years of life. There is nothing that demonstrates love for Grandpa better than a birthday party that celebrates these years. I’m sure that my family won’t fail our grandpa how much they love him by dedicating a day toward celebrating his birthday. If I were just there I have this idea (which you could follow too!). I would love to begin the day by making him a cup of coffee and placing a sticky note on it wishing him a happy birthday. I would make plans of surprising him like bringing him to his surprise birthday party!
Here are some birthday ideas you could do for your grandpa:
For food preparation, bring back his childhood by serving small bowls of comfort food like chicken and dumplings, home-style macaroni and cheese topped with breadcrumbs and grits. Offer common foods like fried chicken and pork chops, deviled eggs and potato salad. Complete the old-fashioned food theme by making popcorn balls. In honor of his birthday, offer shrimp cocktail and lobster bisque, two foods that he would only have eaten in celebration. If your grandpa has a favorite dish, build the menu around it and stick to his favorite foods. By serving guests a variety of foods you ensure all in attendance will find a food they are happy with.

What gift to give? How about a pocket watch with a small note in it expressing your love for him? Include a line that addresses his ability to make time for you whenever you need it. Or a "Grandpa" coffee mug, gourmet coffee and a cap that can keep him cool while he is outdoors in the summer.
