I woke up early yesterday morning and I began to think about how wonderful it was to have all my children and most of my grandchildren here on Christmas Day.

I tell them often that there is not anything they could do to ever make me stop loving them. I know my love for them is deep and genuine. This enduring love will remain until the end, simple because they are my children. Don't get me wrong, there has been times that one or more of them have done something to make me want to hide.

Not always wanting my way or the highway.
