No matter how old we get, how many successes or failures we have, how many children or grandchildren we can count we still need our Mother. If we no longer have a Mother living believe you me, we miss her, we have not forgotten her, and we still love and need her daily. From the time the wee one starts calling, "mur to the time our Mother becomes Mom, she still deserves and holds a big place in the heart of her children, no matter how long the list may be. Lucky is the old boy who possesses a sweet wife, the one who has the reserved right to be called Mother by his children. The Mother who wrapped your little wounds, who rubbed your aching legs and soother the smarting scratches with a soft kiss, is the same old girl that ignored your cutting remarks when you were teens, who always bakes your birthday cake, sets by your bed and worries when you are ill, baby-sits with your honorary, aggrevating, nonminding children, prays for your safe return, and goes right on loving you when she knows you are bored stiff with her.

Mother is the lady who does most of the dirty work, does without the most of anyone in the family, in silence, and the privilege of doing so. Mother is the one that gets the blame if her children use poor manners, if they go wrong, if the roast burns, if Dad drinks to excess, if the buttons are not sewn on, if the newspaper descent arrive on time, and if the laundry is not picked up, if the library books are over-due MOTHER, she is quite a girl, we love her! Father is the old boy that deserves more than he ever gets The most outstanding time of his life is when he, alone, has the privilege of escorting his daughter down the aisle at her wedding, to hand her over to some other gent of her choice. That is if he is lucky enough to have a daughter, and she is smart enough to have a church wedding. We all know Daddy is the one who 'asks the table blessing'; mows the lawn; has a man-toman talk with the boys; keeps his mouth shut about his secretary to his wife; opens all the hard-to-open jars and bottles; carrys all the heavy loads of groceries and repairs the leaky faucets; spades the flower beds; opens the car doors for the ladies; catches the biggest fish; deserves the biggest steak; brings home the biggest paycheck; and uncovers the oranges and squeezes the bird, the morning after a big night. He is always Daddy to all his children and Big Daddy to Mom in many ways.

Pop never gets enough bouquets in this life. Everyone is too busy trying to put the bite on him, for an extra buck. The entire twelve grades of schooling for as many as four or more children, can add up to 48 years of "gimme, gotta have's" an. that is not counting the kinder garten nor college years Pop has to pay many desired and undesired taxes, give donations, gifts, tithes, pledges insurances for houses, cars, furniture, clothing, jewelry, family, and a million other little gouges. Dad is the guy you lean on in times of trouble; Use as a handyman; ignore when you're mad at him; -out when he errs; Share a big portion of his life; Spend all his money; Wear his shirts; Exhaust his charge accounts; Take for granted; Soundoff to, about everyone you know; Have the urge to kill and yet, Love sincerely.

His unsung support through the years, to a family, should hold nothing but love, respect, understanding and forgiveness. It is never too late to realize it and do something about it. Daddy, bless him, we love him!
