Mother's Day

Recently I had some minor surgery done to clear up my sinus passages and hopefully prevent so many infections. I had never been in surgery or been put under. It was a little nerve racking but I can tell you to draw strength I just needed to think of my wife and mother.

I was raised by my grandmother since I was a year and a half old. I could have been left to God knows what in Tennessee but she made a huge sacrifice for me and took me in. She battled her own health issues that inlcude surviving cervical cancer and fighting diabetes until her death. She always put our well being in fron of hers and that was her policy.

My wife and I have two great children. To deliver these miracles into the world my wife had to endure two c-sections. I know this sounds run of the mill these days but a good deal of pain and worry comes with this procedure. As I lay on the table and think about my own mild suffering I just needed to remind myself of what these women have went through for me.

Please take time this weekend to say happy mother's day to any women in your life that are mothers or even play mothers to so many kids.
