Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms on CM!!!!
My mom certainly wouldn't have won mother of the year award but she was my mom. Of all the things she taught me, the one that always stood out when I became a mom was that I didn't want to be a mom like her. But, in saying that she was one of the best grandmothers ever. She loved her grandchildren more than anything until the day she died.
My chiildren (now all grown and successful adults) are the 3 greatest accomplishments of my life. I will celebrate Mother's Day with my 2 sons and their girlfriends and will see my daughter in a few weeks when I go up for a visit.
I love listening to my kids now talk about things that happened when they were growing up ... the things that they remember or that made an impression on them (especially those that I had no idea the kids feel the way they do) . I love that they are grown and have lives of their own, but I also love when they grab my hand to hold or give me a hug or when I hear their voice or see their face when the conversaton starts with "Mom ....". There is no telling what will come out of their mouths .. and that didn't change with age. [:)]
There is nothing like that first moment when you hold your baby and know that feeling of being a mother for the first, second or third time ... just as there is nothing like seeing them as adults ... knowing that as their mom, you did good. [:)]
So .... Happy Mother's Day!!!!
