When we were kids, birthdays always felt like a big deal. We thought about it for months, right? There would be a special meal, a delicious cake, and maybe even a party with a few friends and balloons. Of course, we also had that very special birthday wish, and when our loved ones made that come true, we felt like the most special person on earth. As the years go by and life changes, birthdays become less about material things and more about gratitude for living another year. Then it seems that if we live for a very long time, people want to celebrate our milestones again. Gertrude Williams knows all about that. At 111 years old, she had one wish, and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office helped make it come true. Gertrude Wanted to Meet Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd Grady Judd, the no-nonsense Polk County Sheriff in Florida, has a bit of a celebrity status. Fans who love him really love him.
