#mawmawMonday

Let's travel back a few years to the summer of 2006. I was a rising senior in college and was serving as a lead program coordinator for Carolina Cross Connection at Camp McCall.  Despite being only a rising senior, I was the oldest  person on my staff. Due to my age and my nurturing nature, I picked up the nickname "Mawmaw Mary" among my staff. To be honest, it was the first time in my life that I let anyone just call me Mary.

Throughout the past few years the only person to continue to call me Mawmaw has been my sister. She'll call to check on me during the week and when I answer she'll say hey Mawmaw. 

Until recent weeks, Annie has been the only one to use this loving name for me. She slipped up our week in Greensboro and called me Mawmaw in front of our contestants- and they haven't forgotten.

Mondays are now referred to as #mawmawmonday and I just never know what picture or comment is going to show up.  I even have a emoticon that gets frequently used 👵

Thankful for the nurturing gift God has blessed me with- even if it ages me beyond my years 👵
