This was the sunrise for my birthday this morning -- Feb 10, 2010
Looking back I have to ask myself, just where did the past 54 years go and how did they get away from me so fast.
This morning I called Mom and she was wishing me a happy birthday and I asked her what it was like 54 year ago to.
The year was 1956, a Friday morning... EARLY MORNING. Mom told me that around midnight she knew something was wrong and she got Dad up and told him to go get her Mom... that would be Granny Roberts. Well about 5am Mom went to the hospital and as soon as it was light she said the whole clan showed up at the hospital. That would be Granny and Grandpaw Roberts, Aunt Sybil, Granny and Paw Lee. Mom said the little waiting room was full. It was around 9pm the Doctor came in and told her that the labor could go on until the next morning and she told him she couldn't stand it anymore. Before then she had just been laying there not complaining because of all the people coming and going out of the room and she said if she had said anything Granny Roberts would have had a fit of worry.. hahaha So sometime after 9pm I was born. What really gets me is that the next day Grandpaw Roberts brought Mom the biggest box of Valentine candy. I only wish my Grandparents were here to see my grandkids and to see what they passed on in the way wanting to spend time with me when I was young. I love being with my grandkids... they make me see things I haven't seen in years...
I must say it has been a great day...
