MAMA MIA

(added photo, pre little bro Chis's arrival)

My parents got married when they were in their teens. By the time my mother was 23 years-old, she had five kids…five very rambunctious kids, I might add. Lord, what we put that poor woman through!

A few years ago, I was digging through some boxes in the attic and discovered a paean to my mom that I had written when I was in 1st grade.

To Mama,

I love you very much!

You are nice and pretty.

You try to teach me manner, but I forget every time.

You cook our meals and clean the house.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be living.

You buy my clothes and toys.

You buy my alergy medicine.

And you do lots of other things for me.

This is why I love you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Y’all make the world go around.
