bertsbasket of memories ( for my son david Robert blocker) for his birthday on june 23 2014 I wrote this a little early emailed to david and he called me . we had a laugh over the night he was born or the early morning he was born .at the old airbase hospital in Walterboro sc .(a litte babe and now the older man of the south .) our son his father david Kermit blocker and Roberta rilee blocker oldest son .I was so young I had my first child at one month past 15 I was 14 years old when we ran away got married we hid for two weeks so moma would not annul it . it was a very hot day in june when kermit and i decided to go to folly beach .for a cool day off .I never knew this child would change my life and so today I share my story I should say Davids story we had an old ford truck in 1952 that would run hot on us . Kermit was kinda maybe we should not go as the old truck might run hot . please I said . we were living in the front bedroom of the old blocker place in his mother and fathers the tiller blocker home . it was no air then and I was so miserable . we packed a picnic lunch and I said jl langdale his sister patricia and younger brother buddie they were kermits cousins . they wer out of school they were staying with nettie lee and her brother davis smith . I told Kermit lets ask them to go too . we all went in the truck the two langdale boys in the back. patricia up front with us . the truck did run hot two times but we carried a couple containers of water and that got us to the beach that hot hot day in june . .the beach was beautifull and I was so glad to get in the cool water of the atlantic . I jumped waves all afternoon being carefull the waves never hit my tummy but the waves kept hitting my back . yes my friends I was just a slip of a girl with a tiny bump where I was pg . so after a full day with lunch on a blanket with a little sand in the lunch and some cold drinks we headed on back home . real tired but happy and cooler .the two boys went to sleep in the back of the truck they had so much fun too but really wore out . we went on to bed that night and about 130/ 2 am I had some really bad backaches then I knew this was labor and I woke Kermit up from a sound sleep said Kermit you have to take me to hospital the baby coming .he said real sleepy lets wait until in morning I said no waiting we need to go now jumping waves must have put me in labor because the baby not due until july . we never had a phone I said lets go get moma I knew Lloyd working night shift . we went to get moma oh my moma got sick instantly throwing up as we were walking to the truck she had legare reeves with her she as scared to stay by her self at night so moma said lets take legare to ma mas and then after we left legare at my grandmothers we went got aunt viola ( punkie ) legares mother moma said that was stupid I should have brought legare home to his house .we headed for old airbase hospital . I was in hard labor by then . dr jim vonlehe was called and I thought I was dieing I kept hollering for moma . moma went out side aunt punkie said then moma shot back in the door she said she was right under delivery room window and I wanted my moma and was screaming it . then david born they laid him on my tummy such a tiny tiny babe . he weighed 5 lbs . Kermit had quit smoking but by then he was a nervous wreck i think it was moma made him so nervous he had to have a cigarette by then . we named the baby david robert after his kermits dad david and Robert after my father Robert rilee. david had a head full of black hair moma thought baby looked like my dad Robert ( bob ) afew days later we were home again . in the front room of blockers. moma was workng then. i did not know what to do with a baby my sister in law irene blocker smith did not have kids she went for martha spell martha showed us how to bathe baby change its clothes and i used that lessons from martha for all my children to come .on june 23 david turns 62 years old a litte babe turned into a fine Christian man that god has surely blessed .he has his wife of over 35 years rita have two chidren daphne and davy and 4 grandchildren Lauren ses and jase also conastee . the love of god is in davids heart and today I say happy birthday noot our nickname for him. my mother never liked his nickname she thought the name david too nice to call him noot his aunt Irene gave him that name .remember the little slip of a girl your mother and the skinny guy your dad was and so young my husband kermit blocker was so proud of david his son the sportsman in him that loves to fish hunt and the man in his older years that has so many friends and family that love him his brother stevie .sisters bonnie sherry and Laurie happy birthday david may your day be filled with love happiness and memories ps dont forget you share your date in june with Naomi .
