Whew! Glad that's over!

WELL OVER A HALF A CENTURY HAS PAST SINCE MOM SURELY SAID THOSE WORDS! IMAGINE GOING FROM A FAMILY OF THREE KIDS ( RICH- ONE MONTH SHORT OF 9YRS OLD, KATHY- JUST 7YRS OLD THE MONTH BEFORE AND KAY- ONLY 2YRS OLD THE MONTH BEFORE) TO A FAMILY OF FIVE CHILDREN WHEN SHERYL AND I WERE BORN! "THE TWINS" WERE NOT YOUR TINY TWIN SIZE BABIES OF TODAY. MOM SAID SHE LOOKED 3 MONTHS WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 6 WKS ALONG! WE WERE SURELY FULL TERM AS I WEIGHED 6 LBS. 1 OZ. & SHERYL WEIGHED A FULL 7LBS! CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT A LOAD THAT WAS? AND OF COURSE, IT WAS NOT A CESEAREAN (sp) BIRTH! MOM SAID WHEN I WAS BORN THEY SAID, "OH LOOK AT THAT LITTLE PINK FOOT". PERHAPS THERE WAS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND AND MAKE A PROPER ENTRANCE BUT I ALWAYS SUSPECTED A PUSH FROM SHERYL! HOW BLESSED WE WERE TO BE BORN INTO THIS WARM AND LOVING FAMILY WITH PARENTS WHO WERE TRULY GOOD PEOPLE. MAY THE BLESSINGS OF THEIR LOVE OF GOD AND THIS FAMILY CONTINUE TO FLOW THRU OUR LIVES!
