My Offspring

I have wanted to show all of you to my mom and dad, but that has not been possible. I think my dad's buttons would pop with pleasure for all of you. Dad Died before Don was born and I hadn't told him that I was expecting a baby. We had only been married for four months when he died and I knew that I was going to have a baby, but I didn't think to tell him. I think they know what is happening here with their family and I know that they would love to talk to each of you. I have always wanted my parents to be proud of their posterity. I can just see him with Don, Kent, Bonnie and Larry. I think they know our pleasures and our heart aches, just like we do. I love all of you so much and am thankful that you are my family.
