On this Mother's Day, in the year of 2011




Happy Mother’s Day!



    On this Mother's Day, in the year of 2011
    I look back one day in February in New York City...

    And here it goes...






    It took me seventy years to get today.

    Seventy Years!


    With my loving husband beside me,

    Three grown children and their spouses,

    And eight grandchildren

    With the ninth soon to be born in April.


    I was serenaded from all my children and grandchildren

    With abundant well wishes and love for me, their Halmoni.


    My first grandson read a letter of nomination to induct me

    into the make-believe World's Grandparents Recognition Association.


    My second Grandson made a cartoon of "Ages"

    comparing seventy years to the age of Sun as following;

    "If you have ever thought that seventy is quite a lot,

    Think again...

    Seventy is pretty young, If you compare it to the sun.

    The sun is 4.6 billion years old...

    And no where close to growing cold."


    My third grandchild gave me

    "The Top Ten Wishes I Hope Come True..."

    Wishing me the very best birthday ever.


    My Fourth grandchild sang a beautiful song,

    "Let's go fly a Kite" from the Mary Poppins Musical

    in full verses with precise tune and rhythm.


    My Fifth and Seventh grandchildren sang a song

    "Fifty, Nifty, Fifty States of United States..."

    In alphabetical order from Alabama to Wyoming

    Without missing a state,

    Pumping fists in the air at Minnesota (their Gomo's state),

    New York (their home) and Ohio (our home state).


    The sixth grandchild played a joke on me;

    "Knock, Knock"

    I responded, "Who's there?"

    "Me-e"

    "Me who?"

    "Abby!

    Abby Birthday to You,

    Abby Birthday To You,

    Abby Birthday dear Halmoni-

    Happy Birthday to You!"


    The Eighth grandchild clapped his palms in his mama's arms,

    The to-be-ninth grandchild swam around in his mama's womb.


    Why wouldn't I be seventy and be here today?


    They made the seventy years of my life splendid.

    Indeed, indeed!


    "I must have done something good!"



    PS; Our ninth grandchild happily joined the Cho clan

    on April 8th, 2011 as the third after his two sisters.




With our new grandson Baby Cho
