Around Busha's Table

       I was born in Grand Rapids 17 and a half years ago on March 29, 1997. The earliest birthday that I can remember is when I turned 5-years-old. I remember everyone crowding around a table with my great-grandmother's, Busha, at her house on the West side of Grand Rapids. My grandmother would make a cake from scratch for all birthdays held at Busha's house. This is where everyone had their birthday for as long as I can remember. In February 2013, Busha had passed away and we haven't held any birthdays at her house since then. From time to time, I visit the house and reminisce on all of the great memory had around that table.
