Through the years she had hollered, said and prayed, "Dear God, grant me patience!" 1,576,800 times. Her hands have hung diapers on pulley and stationary clotheslines, sterilized bottles, carried babies from upstairs and down and from the barn to the house, ironed mounds and mounds of laundry and proudly pushed baby buggies. She has looked after all her children with an abundance of love not only once but multiplied seven times. She has peeled more potatoes than six marines on KP duty. She should have a theological degree as she has blessed, listened to, counselled, served and cooked at her church throughout the years and has taught Sunday School to some families' childrens' children. She should have a veterinarian's degree as she has neutered, combed, beheaded, plucked, milked, petted, fed, rode, weighed, mothered and chased animals of every description. She should have an agricultural degree as she has drove tractor, planted, plowed, harvested, baled, stacked and worked side by side with her husband Alvin, in all aspects of the farming industry. Her hair has been in plastic curlers, kerchiefs, hats, caps, permed, tonied and turned silver. The "Parlour" was where she entertained company, the "Pantry" held the groceries, the "Icebox" held gallons and gallons of ice cream, the "wood shed" held her sauerkraut and pickles and the "wringer washing machine" was hers to use on her special washing days. She has not only earned her nursing degree through professional schooling, but through measles, chicken pox, mumps, pneumonia, fevers, stitches, flu, fractured limbs and of course, broken hearts. At one time or another her closet held housedresses, feathered hats, white gloves, skirts with short and long hemlines, pantsuits, billowy dresses or chiffon, sheath dresses, a Sunday coat and the Christmas toys she was hiding after ordering them from the Sears or Eatons Wishbook catalogue. Her attic was always a warehouse... In bulk you could shop for Kleenex, toilet paper, flour, sugar, oatmeal, cereal, cereal, cereal and more cereal. Her heart has known the pleasure of a man's love, the joy of children, the worry of her children's problems, the heartbreak of sorrow, the warmth of life's friendships, the love of sisters and sisters-in-law, the celebrations of weddings, the magnificent blessings of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Who can count the floors she scrubbed, the dinners she cooked, the birthday gifts she wrapped, the spelling words and stories she listened to, the bedtime stories she read, the excuses she heard, the prayers she whispered to God each day? Her arms have rocked generations of babies. Her hands have prepared "favourite rhubarb pie" and countless recipes. Her knees have knelt in prayer time and time again for those she loves. Her mouth has kissed "owwies" that hurt. Her back has bent to bath dirty miniature cowboys and wanna-be farmers, picked up teen's clothes, gathered flowers and hoed vegetables from her garden. She has journeyed through life with its tears and laughter, watching yesterday's sunsets become tomorrow's sunrises of hope and promise. Because of her and the man who took her hand, family values, family life and love continued through the generations. WHEN OUR MOTHER BLOWS OUT HER BIRTHDAY CANDLES...
