On Saturday night Mom was chosen as Citizen of the Year in Effingham. Mom raised eight kids born over a twelve year period. She was a registered nurse, anesthesiologist and writer. She also was a tutor, inspirer, disciplinarian and counselor. She and Dad were married for 53 years until he passed away in 2003.
Mom is going through some tough times since she was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months ago. Having to go through Chemo Therapy is not a pleasant experience but Mom is doing it with her typical positive and cheerful approach to life.
I’m glad that she was honored with this award.
