Why God Made Moms

This is my mom. Hard to believe that she is 70. Looks pretty good for her age! When I was a kid, I always looked at her and compared her to ther moms. I though we had lucked out, after all she was small, "skinny" and kinda pretty. I remember Miss Brownjohn, my garde 2 taecher asking me why I thought my mom was the "best" mom. My answer, "cause she likes to have lots of babies". I also remember coming home from school right around that age, looking at mom and asking her if she was having another baby, 'cause her belly was getting big again. Ooops, not a good thing to say to a woman who is NOT pregnant. Anyways, these memories came flooding back when I was reading the following. Enjoy!
