Number 1 Ninny
Well, after my post of Pa I was again kindly reminded by my mother that she has never had a post specially for her. I would like to remind you mom that I thank you for staying home with us on my profile and that you are such a good example to me, but nonetheless I will tell the world why I think you are by far the Number 1 Ninny in my book:
#1. When you call, Ninny answers. No matter what, if Ninny is needed, Ninny is there. I don't know what me, Allie and Michael would do without her selflessness. She was here for me when I had Allie, a week after I had her, a week when I went back to work, and always comes when she gets the call from me that says "mom, I need you bad, please come," which you will be getting soon so get ready. She is the most dependable person I know.
# 2. She has great songs. She has made up so many songs while raising us, which she now enjoys singing to her grandchildren. I find myself singing them a lot, and always let Allie know where I got them from.
#3. Ninny loves her grandkids as much as her own children. If there is a need, she fills it, and everyone can see the love that she has for all eight of new additions to the family. It doesn't matter how they made it in the family either by one of her own children or by marraige, she loves them all the same!
# 4. "Ninny talks." When one the grandchildren are acting up, they are faced with a Ninny talk. She sits down with them and has a talk about their recent behavior, and it never fails that both Ninny and the one being talked to get up smiling. She knows just what to say.
#5. Last but not least, she is the best mother in the world so it only makes sense that she is the best Ninny in the world. I don't know of anyone who is so passionate about their family, and who loves with a more genuine love!
