This picture is from my dear mother's 90th birthday in 2008. (She's the tiny one in the middle) My sisters and brother came out to celebrate her. I made those crown for all of us to wear - except my brother - he is already the crowned prince of our family (just kidding)... I'm posting this because Bonnie sent it to me yesterday and then called and we were talking about what a fun time that day was and how hard it is to watch mom going downhill so fast. She's still a lovely person and we all love her dearly, but at 94 nothing is easy for her. She and my father raised seven children - lost two of them in 1994. We're all quite different, but held together by a fierce love and protective feeling of each other. My older sisters (I had to throw that in) played a HUGE part in raising me. Thank you sisters. I love you guys.

What a beautiful bunch of women!
Wow what a privilege to be a part of a family like that and to still have your Mum around! Raising 7 kids? Phew she must be something special!
You have a great family!
