Two Other Mother's

I have written a tribute to my mama, and to my mom-in-love, so now I want to write about 2 other mothers...my 2 precious daughters! 
Lyndee made me a gramma when I  was 41.  She had Meaghan when she was 21.  Today that seems young, but 18 years ago that wasn't so young.  Lyndee had been through a couple of years of college and many years in the school of life. 
She was the oldest of 4 and she was the "boss" of the kids, until the boys got bigger than her!  She was always mature for her age, which I think is a characteristic of an oldest girl.  Her having to deal with diabetes at the age of 13 contributed to her being more mature, too.  When one deals with a life and death illness, it tends to mature you quickly!
Her life was on the line during each of her 2 pregnancies, but she wanted babies enough to take the risk!  Parker came into her life through her marriage to Phil, and you would never know he isn't her birth son!  She treats him with all the love of a real mom!
Lyndee is a beautiful, gifted person!  I love her tender heart!

I told you Kelsey's story just the other day!  She was our little miracle baby.  She was a fun, funny kid and was the complete opposite of Lyndee in the fact that she was definitely the baby of the family.  As a tot, she had everyone wrapped around her little finger, but yet, she was still a very loving, generous little person!  Like Lyndee, she is also a very beautiful, gifted person.
Through an unfortunate circumstance, she became a single mom last October.  In a day an age where people choose to NOT have a baby, she chose to go through with her pregnancy.  She is a very attentive mom and is raising a precious little boy. 

I am very proud of both my girls and the wonderful, loving mothers they are!  Happy Mother's Day Lyndee and Kelsey!  I love you both!

  6. I made my first MIL a grandmother at age 37! She loved my son so that I don't think it mattered a bit! I was only 18 (which I don't recommend! )

    I think Kelsey should start blogging too! :)
