Hints for MOM!

  So this is my beautiful mom, Mary Marie ( Long) Derodes.  Mary is 18 years old and this is 1940.  Mom, become a mom in 1941.  There are seven of us, and I am number four in our group.  We all grew up in Smithville, Ohio -- which was a sweet little town, much like Canal Fulton. 

 This is my beautiful mom today at 92.  How the years have passed.  Surrounded by her "kids" today. Mom is still at home, on her own.  I am, however with her on Wednesday evenings, then Saturday evening to Tuesday morning and I don't regret any of this time.  These moments with mom are more precious than ever.  I tend to think about what will happen when something happens to Mom.  Mom like all of us don't live forever, but Mom even at 92 is active and living life to the fullest.  Mom has 13 grandchild and 20 great-grand children.  Take this time to let you Mom know how much you love her---- Happy Mother's Day, Mom ~~~~
