Mothers Day!... Day 179 10MAY09


Today is that special day when mothers are celebrated for all that they do. A woman who becomes a mother is a wondrous creature. She nurtures life inside of her own body, jealously guarding it for long difficult months. To share this life with the rest of the world she endures pain that, if the genders were reversed, would ensure a quick end to new babies being born. She then dedicates her life and love to raising her child from a tiny frail creature into the full grown adult that they will become.

It is a difficult job in the best of times. So here is my wish for a special day for the four mothers in my life. You are all wonderful and the world would be a darker place without you. Thank you for all that you do without any recognition the other 364 days of the year.

Happy Mother's Day! Hope your day was as special as you are!

What a wonderful picture of a mom and her sons! I hope you had a blessed day with your family. Josh, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow and know you're such a trooper it will go well. Jarrod you are growing up too fast - can you slow it down a little? Lee, you wrote a very touching and moving message today and we also hope all the 4 mothers in your life had great days!

Take care, Love, Laura& Frank

Hey Snuggle Monkey,

You and Jarrod make a gorgeous frame for your beautiful Mom! and Miss Laura is correct - Jarrod, you are growing too fast. Slow down a bit please.

Josh, I am hoping that your Monday goes better than expected. You are a strong warrior and you will prevail.

Tell Fred I said "Hello".

Tons of Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Nonna
