Mama Esther..

Today I thought I would share a picture of my Mama Esther, my Mom's Mother. In this picture the baby she is holding is me and I'm only a few months old so this was probably taken in the summer of 1953.

I really loved my Mama Esther and loved to hear her laugh. I always thought that I was her "favorite" but now that I'm a grandparent myself I treat all my grandchildren as if they were "favorites". We love them all the same.

I have another picture of that same baby being held by his eighteen year old Mother. Mom looks so young and I have been fortunate to be surrounded by so many wonderful women who have helped me be the man I am today. I can honestly say this is the first woman I have ever loved and will always love forever!
