About this scrapbook page: |
I was Child No. 3 in a family of 8 children. Was supposed to be a boy. I was born in the days before the fathers were in attendance in the delivery room. The first thing my mother said when she saw my father after delivery was "Merrill, it's ANOTHER girl!" And what a Mommy's Girl I was! I was told that throughout my toddlerhood, I wanted nothing to do with anyone except my mother. Mom died in 2006 ... but "Mom, I still celebrate YOU on my birthday and thank you for giving me life."

This is what my mother looked like around the time I was born. The small photo is me on my 1st birthday, I believe. Papers by Galiscrap and by Catherine Designs. Sparkles and wire by Creative Victorian Designs. Flowers by Lotta Designs. My birthday is October 5th, and the words on this page are what I am imagining my mother would be saying to me ...

I love absolutely everything about this page. It's a terrific picture of mom and such a sweet picture of you. I didn't know you were such a mommy's girl. I wonder what they said after getting Albert for number 4 when I came along as the next child and was "another girl".
