Today is my son’s 30th birthday. It is hard to believe that 30 years ago he came into our lives — all 9½ pounds of him. After a long five-year journey, I was finally a mother. God knew what he was doing and sent me the most wonderful child a mother could ask for. I won’t make this a mushy article, because he would hate that.

Summer is here at last. It is good to be at home for a change, but I do miss the children. I am quite the homebody and enjoy reading, cooking and cleaning up all the clutter that has accumulated since school went back in session after Christmas.

Join Those Who Support Local News

Local news matters to Greenwood. It keeps the people informed and connected. It asks the questions they want answered. It elevates what’s good, and it exposes what’s not.

To do that work well takes skilled reporters and editors, as many as a community can support through advertising, subscriptions and philanthropy.

The Greenwood Commonwealth expanded its newsroom in 2025 by adding Gerard Edic as a reporter covering public safety and other stories of interest to the community.

His position is partially funded by a two-year grant from Report for America, a national nonprofit. Generous supporters in the community donated the matching funds in the first year. We are now raising funds for Year 2.
