1921

87 years ago today my mom was born in Bates County Missouri to Charles and Alma Smith. She was one of 9 children. My mom was a twin and I always thought I would love to have twins or have twin grandchildren, but it never happened. She had the cutest sense of humor and was always happy. She was a wonderful seamstress and made most of my clothes growing up. I didn't inherit her skill.. She was a very warm, compassionate person who always saw the best in everyone. My children and grandchildren called her Grama Terry and when asked what they remember about her they remember; her reading to them, making them warm nightgowns and p.j.'s, never forgetting a birthday, having a chocolate cake on the counter and fried chicken on the stove when we would arrive at her house on vacation. Her greatest joy was her family and she was certainly a joy to us. This picture was taken in 1974 on a visit with our family in Arizona.
Happy Birthday Mom
