Today is my 47th Birthday! It's considered a mile stone in my family. Here is a little background...I'm number 11 of the 15 children my mother gave birth to 11,  adopted 2 and 2 are half siblings. I'm the last to reach 47 years of age of the 11. My mom died 40 years ago 30 minutes before midnight it would be her 47th birthday, my grandmother and great  grandmother died at the age of 47 of complications of type2 diabetes also. I was diagnosed this year in May with type2 diabetes and have done my part to stay healthy so I can live a great life.  So, yes happy BIRTHDAY to me!
