GOOD NIGHT DAD

Here is my story, I was born 71 years ago today. My baby book does not list the time, only that I came into the world two months early weighing in at 4 1/2 pounds, 18 inches long. According to my baby book, it sounds as though I wasn't fast cutting teeth, crawling, walking or talking. But hey, I did finally accomplish it. I was born to a child, my Mother did not turn 14 until I was two months old. And my poor Mom has worked all of her life, every since I was born, taking care of someone. What kind of childhood did she have? I love my Mom so much. Where was her Mother, but then, according to everything I have heard, my Grandmother was 15 when she had her first child. Believe me, when I was almost 20 before I had ours, I felt out of place. Just joking of course. I can't imagine anything worse then a child having a baby.

But here I am! I was also looking through my baby book, that doesn't have a whole lot of things in it, but it does show my weight and height until I was 4 years old. At six months I was 9 1/2 pounds and 26 inches long, at one year 18 1/2 pounds and 29 inches tall. How accurate any of these numbers are I don't know.

The day I was born, at home, my Aunt told me their old cat was also having kittens. So she was busy running from the bedroom to the kitchen. It was a chilly day, so after they got me all cleaned up, I've been told, they made me a bed in a large shoe box and sit the box on the oven door (standing open of course) of the old kitchen cook stove. I don't know, but I can only assume this is true. And now we all know what my problem is, THEY DIDN'T TURN ME OFTEN ENOUGH AND I'M ONLY HALF BAKED. Everyone have a great week-end.

This is me at nine months.

HUSBAND

My brother lives close to a lake, and there is a small wooded area at the side of his lot. One day he decided to fix it up with little items and told his Grandson it was a fairy forrest. At the time this Grandson was only around 3. That little fella believed in fairies for quite some time. But this year he told his Grandpa, he didn't think there were any fairies. Wesley is now about 9 going on 10 This is a short video my brother made of him and Wesley talking.

Hope you enjoy this. My brother told me, it's in the top 50 at Putfile.
