Forty five years ago today I became a mom for the first time.

By
Real Estate Agent 0225218019

Forty five years ago today I became a mom for the first time.

It was on a Monday, October 12, 1970 I woke up to the news that I had a son.  I had not had an ultrasound so I didn't know for until he was born that I had a son.  It was Columbus Day then as well.

 

I was a young first time mom, only 19 years old.  Now my son is married with two daughters and works for the FAA as an air traffic controller at the Jacksonville center in northeast Florida.

 

Being a mother is probably the hardest and most rewarding job I have had in my life. 

 

Happy birthday ROB!

Yes, Happy Birthday Rob!

I reached your milestone last November 20, and I do agree with you - motherhood is the hardest, most rewarding job in the universe. And - I think the most important.

Happy Rob's Birthday to you Sybil Campbell 

My Mother tells the story about waking up after giving birth to me thinking she'd had her 7th son.  The Dr held me in such a way as I was born, that she mistook a finger for something else

OK, Sybil, I want to know what kind of face cream you use!  And happy birthday to Rob, with a thank you for helping to keep the skies safe.

My daughter is currently dating an air traffic controller and his name is Rob. LOL

I didn't know the sex of any of my 3 children until they were born. There is something so wonderful about hearing it then instead of knowing all along like they do now.

That said, I can't wait to find out the sex of my newest grandbaby due in April.

Patricia, full disclosure, this picture is about 8 years old, but most people don't think I look my age.

Good morning Sybil. If your picture is current, you certainly don't look your age.

Sheila, It was taken about 6 or 7 years ago but the photographer touched it up.  I told him I wish that mouse could take my real wrinkles away like that. However, I am often told that I do not look my age.
