Happy Mothers Day

After some thinking about Mothers Day, I remember giving my mom art work that I later got back after she had passed away, and the china hutch that I brought home about a month afer she was gone. Then I was asked who gets this strange mug that saids MOM on it? I told my S-I-L it's not strange, it belongs to me thank you very much I gave that to mom when I was about 6 or 7 yrs old. My mom never used it she kept it just like it is now unused. So Here's my tribute to mom's, my mom use to milk a cow while I was growing up, made her own butter out of cream, she did many other countless things. Yet this peom says it all. And I'm fighting tears that I well up, from missing her so much.


MOM
How beatifully everything is arranged by nature. Just as soon as a child enters the world it finds a mother ready to take care of it. Luckly Mothers Have Been Relieved Of such duties as milking cows and making butter so they've been able to move up to Family economist, Child psychologist, career person and still cook, too. Mothers are the most unselfish, the most responsible people in the world Motherhood is not a matter of bearing children; That is a biological event. Motherhood is diapers and bottles; clinging hands and endless questions; joyful tears and foolish fear. But most of all, Motherhood is an opportunity to influence the transformation of a child into a remarkble human being. Just as breast milk cannot be duplicated. Neither can a Mother. No one like one's mother ever lived. Mothering is an art which demands affection, gentleness and understanding, firmness, restraint and sacrafice. At the heart of a mothers sacrafice is the knowledge that one day she must set her child free. A mother is not a person to lean on, But a person to make learning unnecessary. A mother achieves more than a hundred teachers. Where do mothers learn all the things they tell their children not to do? What on earth woudl children do if they didn't have Mothers to help them through their troubles. A Mother understands what a child does not say. Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe. Of being able to pour out words and thoughts and know that she would take and sift them keeping what was worth keeping and parting with the rest. Of all the home remedies. Having mother there is the best. As a mother you serve much longer that you expected. Now, as alwasys the most automated appliance in the house is you. After all who wants to try to make pies like mother makes when it's so much simpler to let mother make them in the first place! To bear and rear to cook and clean; to be instantly available without being underfoot; No wonder the proffession is free of male competition. It is such a grand thing to the mother of a mother that the world calls you a grandmother. And, just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes both mother and grandmother and a grand babysitter. A mother never realizes her children are no longer children. No matter how old they are, A mother still watches for signs of improvement. In the eyes of it's mother, every beetle is a gazelle. Mom is a much more magical word than mother. It holds memories of sunlit rooms and laughter and love beyond the dreams of anyone. Memmories, too, of the push and tug it took to keep you up to par. To make you more than you thought you could be and memories of advice that did not fall on deaf ears I heard you then, and I hear you now. And thank you from the bottom of my heart, I Love You Mom.
