Ending the month, with a smile

Happy Birthday, to Grandma, my Mother-in-Law.
There is no better way to compliment her than to shine a bright light on the accomplishments of her children. I am continually amazed by mothers. By mothers with one child, three children and especially, many more.
Grandma has raised five children, who are kind, loving, beautiful and extremely funny. More important; she has raised exceptional parents, siblings that are friends and aunts and uncles that invest more time in their nieces and nephews than most parents would. Each child is artistic, faith-based and choose to pass their time together as buddies. (All the time, seriously...we see each other..ALL the time.)
She has raised babies, who find their greatest joy, in raising even more babies. Blessing her with Thirteen beautiful and equally as close grand-children.
Each shining, amazing, brilliant quality her children possess are a testament to her mothering. Grandma is at the helm of a very large family, which she has created to feel close, tiny and comfy. I am very honored, to be included, among this group.

I appreciate you, for your lunches at the DQ, for loaning me 'your baby', for immediately enveloping my children with love and most important...for your Scotcharoos.
Oh, and the Buckeyes.
The other stuff is great but the endless supply of sugar coming my way, keeps me happy.
Happy Birthday. Take a break and enjoy a little 'me time'...you deserve it.
