Do you see all the women at this table (specifically the OLD ones)? (haha) Debbie, at 12 o'clock. Then clockwise (skip Casey--he doesn't babysit, but I let him eat anyway, LOL!) Aunt Jo, DiDi, MawMaw, LeLe and Brooke.
And do you see that one right there in the purple? That's our Honey. (Don't worry about that crazy kid in the background. I don't know her.)
Every one of these women have kept my children for me when I have needed them. They have sacrificed, bent over backwards, stressed out, probably cried, and maybe even banged their heads on a wall, all for my kids, and ultimately, me. One round of steak and potatoes isn't but a drop in the bucket to thank you as much as you deserve.
I know you all are so excited Daniley is FINALLY off to school!
;-)
Let's not forget our GRANDPA's either.
GPaw, PawPaw, and Maurice:
You have sacrificed too. Grandpa's don't get the spotlight they deserve. Each one has sacrificed just as much as the grandma's. GPaw is there every time we need him. Every SINGLE time, without fail! Maurice has contributed every Wednesday for the last 5 years. PawPaw has assisted MawMaw by giving her little breaks, taking the kids for a ride on the gator, teaching them to plant a garden, taking them to feed chickens and collect eggs. These are admirable grandfathers we have in our lives. I know you do it because you love the kids just as much as the Grandmothers.
Thank you all. You deserve more than I can give.
