Happy Birthday Son xx

Fourty six years ago today, I became a Mum for the first time .Yes today is my first born son's birthday ,and the picture is at his Christening ,a little 'snap ' showing four generations ,my Granny .her son my Dad ,me and my new baby Mark ,I was nineteen and so innocent ,I had woken up in the morning with a back ache ,but as I understood the pain should be in your tummy(I'd only learned a few weeks prior that you have water ,that would break ! ! ),I tried to ignore it but ,when it got worse Mick went up to the phone box and rang the Maternity hospital ,where he was told to bring me in !We hadnt got a car ,but Micks best mans Brother was on his way into work so gave us a lift ! After I'd been admitted ,Mick was told 'Off you go you can ring up later ' thats how it was then ,how things have changed ,I was having a baby scared stiff didnt know what was happening ,Mick went to the football match !He rang from the pub were they were having a prematch drink ,to learn he had a son .When he came to see me in the evening ,he was so pleased as was all the family ,first grandchild for my Mum and Dad ,Mick had six brothers and three sisters and only his eldest sister had a boy ,the rest had girls ,So our baby was special of course ,to carry on the line ,though Mark married late and hasnt got any children ,he would have made a lovely Dad .He was always a shy senisitive boy ,and my support for many years,we used to say Mark is quiet ,because as his brother and sisters came along he couldnt get a word in edge ways lol ,He married Chrissy six years ago,and it is so nice, we see lots of them and they visit most weekends ,I rang him this morning and wished him Happy Birthday ,they are going to Truckfest ,and because Maurice is at work ,admonished me for not joining them ,well I've been before and there is only so many times you want to see these marvelous vehicles ......So here we are the end of April ,and this months  batch of Birthdays and aniversarys ,when you have a big family there is always some one celebrating something ,and May has a number of dates to be remembered too .  Have a blessed Sunday every one

With love from
