Mother's Day, 2016

On this Mother’s Day weekend, I feel compelled to recognize not just one or two moms, but three.  First off, to my own mom, Elvera Robison.  Not only has this lady raised three occasionally likable and moderately productive people, she’s also stepped up in a huge way these past few months, helping out with her newest granddaughter, especially now that JaLana is back to work.  Also, I need to recognize my mother-in-law, Judy Lewis, who has also helped us out with Annaka, even going so far as to actually live with our sorry selves during the week.  These two might be retired but they’re certainly not resting.

Finally, a big shout out to my wife, a mom of seven years, whose love and devotion to her children are beyond amazing.  Like many babies, Annaka has to eat often, (every three hours), but due to her health needs, skipping meals overnight is not an option.  What this means is that every three to four hours, regardless of where she is, JaLana stops what she is doing to provide food for her daughter.  What this means is that this lady has not slept more than three hours straight in four months, and yet somehow has refrained from throwing a single kitchen appliance at anyone in her home. 

Forget whose running for President; it’s moms like these who keep this place running.
