Mother's Day Week

Some really fantastic mother's have passed through the generations before me and a couple of really good ones are in process. Mother's day made them all so vivid in my mind and I decided that it might be fun to put a note or two about each of them. I got the idea from D'Lynn on Easter when she had each of the grandparents share a childhood memory.

What better place to start then with Margaret Delia Reynolds Seiler. She was born on March 14,1924. She died in September 1997. She was unselfish, honest, loving and a bit quiet as I was growing up. She was also strict and the disciplinarian in the family. I will never forget the time that I skipped school/weekday Mass with my friends and went to Kennedy Lake and slid down the spillway in my pantaloons. When I got home she was waiting and the first words out of her mouth were "where in the h--- have you been". I immediately burst into tears and spilled my guts. It seems that the superintendent, Msgr. Jerry Kelly, had called his friends, Vince and Margaret, and gave them the scoop. My friends were so mad that I so easily gave up my story. Never could help it, I could not lie to her.
She lived the last year of her life with us and became like a child who needed us so bad. I am grateful to have been able to pay her back for a few of the things that she did for me. Miss you MaMa.
