Our folks just celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary. <br /><br />Being raised in a large family taught me a few things: <br /><br />You do not (cannot) develop a sense of entitlement - because nothing is your own. <br /><br />Others are always far worse off than you.<br /><br />Dad had the final say.<br /><br />Ask Mom first.<br /><br />Seeing Mom pull out the ironing board at 11p.m. was normal.<br /><br />Ironing Dad's hankies was my job.<br /><br />Cars will keep you broke.<br /><br />Traveling over an hour to a Tridentine Mass with 9 kids was normal on Sundays in our Dodge Maxi van.<br /><br />Love equals sacrifice. <br /><br />Thanks Mom & Dad for being open to life!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
