Their faces are as familiar as my own, their personalities as varied as the patterns of a snowflake. They came into my life as babies some of them now grown, but all remain my babies. Yes, I am speaking of my children all seven of them and one whom we acquired through marriage, my precious Joy. After the last three days, all the endless nights spent feeding and changing and the trips to the doctor for all those childhood illnesses seem to disappear into memories of what once was a long long time ago.
The faces of my children remind me of the promise I made to myself, to be the best mother I could be and love them all unconditionally. I am so proud of my son Kevin and his beautiful wife Joy. They are remarkable people in their own rite and have made me proud to be their parent. My daughter, Katie, who gets more beautiful every time I see her, is a caring and patient sole, she posses all the makings of a great mother. I am thrilled she has found happiness. And as for my babies still at home I am proud to be their mother and am having a marvelous time watching them all grow into wonderful teens and young adults.
I am also thankful to my wonderful husband Greg who gives unselfishly to allow all of them to come and share Thanksgiving with us. I am so thankful to be Blessed so many times over.
