When I had the priviledge of caring for my Grandma while she was dying, I asked her, "Grandma, you had eleven kids, 68 grandchildren and twenty-five great grand children. Did you ever think so many people would come from you?"

Her replay, "I never though about it. I just did it."

I never considered that we would actually make it this far. My husband and I celebrate eighteen years of marriage tomorrow. My oldest son will be a junior in high school. We have homeschooled for twelve years. ( I know, if oldest is junior, how does that add up to twelve years? It is for another story.) My husband has been unemployed for over two years and yet we miraculously pay the mortgage every month. I gave up a rewarding career. I guess I am like my grandma.
