HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!



My Mother (Ginny Miller)

I just want to wish my Mother Happy Mothers Day!!

She is the mother of 6, grandmother of 16 and great-grandmother of 12 1/2 ?. (you never know for sure right now)

My mother never worked outside the home. She always was there when we got home from school. Can you believe it, we never went to daycare. I guess that is why I have such a problem with daycare. Our job is to raise our kids ourselves whenever possible. I didn't work outside the home until Courtney was in 1st grade and then it was in the school where my kids attended. I guess I learned this from my Mom.

I appreciate all my Mom has done for our family through the years. My brother Curt always jokes and says he was 10 years old before he knew he wasn't in an orphanage. We were a lot of people in a very small space (by our standards today at least) but we had a good time and there was lots of laughter. That is something kids today are sometimes lacking. I could tell you lots of stories about funny things my Mom did over the years, but she reads this and I don't want to embarrass her.

I just hope to be as good a Mother and have as good an influence on my family as my Mom has had on me.

I love you Mom. Happy Mothers Day!
