My poor mama...

Think back to 25 days ago today, does that seem like a long time? That's 3 weeks and 4 days ago. In the scope of a life time, it's just a very brief moment in time. For kids, it seems like forever. For us, it sometimes feels like it flies by and we can't even remember three and a half weeks ago. It's 5 days shy of one month.

My poor mama was due with me on November 5th, and didn't give birth to me until November 30th. I was 25 days late. I'm sure those three and a half weeks seemed like a lifetime to her. Then, when the doctor announced that I was a girl, she told the doctor that he was wrong because she was having a boy. I was also a horrible baby that cried all of the time; so much so, that my mom's neighbor came over and took me from her to give her a break for awhile because she could hear me crying through the walls. I caused my mom a lot of grief, but she still loves me!!! She took me out to lunch today and wished me a happy birthday. I thanked her for birthing me.
