So I so wish I had a picture to post today. Because this post is not about me but it is about my Grandmother. Every year on my birthday I always got a call from my Grandmother Nellie J. Pratt. She would alway recount the circumstances surrounding my birth. So I will recount some of them for each of you. My Mother had a still born several years before she gave birth to me. I can't recall the exact problem that my mom was suffering from with her prior pregnancies, but she started to suffer the same things while she was pregnant with me. My blessed Mother was put on bedrest and she had to be flown to Palo Alto to visit a Dr at a high risk pregnancy clinic. My mom constantly reminds me that she had to stay in bed for six weeks. Well while my mom was on bed rest for six weeks, my sweet grandmother had three busy little boys, ages 6,4 and 3. Anyways my mother had a priesthood blessing and was healed. I was born July 1, 1975. I can't believe that time has flown by. I have lived such a full and wonderful life. I have had such stellar examples and loved ones put into my life. Every year I always reflect around this time of year. I miss my grandmothers call on my birthday and the things that I have done in the past years that I have not been able to share with her. I just hope that in the coming years I will have a guardian angle looking over me.
