To give them roots and wings.
To shelter them from harm.
To make them a priority from the first day you know they are on their way.
To be there for them most of the time. Mentally anyway.
Image
To love them, no matter what.
To think about their needs before your own.
To give birth to them.
To dry their tears and talk away their fears.
To wake up at all times to feed them, drive them, comfort them.
To teach them right from wrong.
To take care of them.
Mary Cassat |
To want them near you, although you know they must go away....
To support their plans, confidence, progress or the lack of it.
To make them self sufficient.
To go through the horrors of loosing them. Through sickness or violence.
Image
To get them ready to leave the nest.
To do it all with an open heart, mind and wallet.
To bask in their approval.
To help when they need it.
T,Schaivonetti |
And to stay away when they want it.
To see their pains even when they not talk.
To kiss them.
To feel their hair and skin.
To kiss little faces and feet.
To listen to them!
To enjoy it all!

It is wonderful to be a mother, to be at the mother to my children, who all four in their own ways bring me endless joy and make my life what it is: Filled with love for them! And meaning and hope for their futures and their well being. Forever yours! I love you more then I can put it into words...
And being a daughter, I send my MOTHER kisses and wishes for a wonderful day, I can't think my life without you! Can't wait to have you here soon!
And to my mother-in-law, who is the sweetest and most darling MOM I could have wished for!
I LOVE YOU BOTH!

A very Happy Mother's Day, Victoria! We, over here, celebrated a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteVictoria,
ReplyDeleteYou have so eloquently put words and images to mind on this Mother's day. Just when I was feeling a bit down-trodden by the role of being a Mother and the somewhat thankless job, you made me feel elevated to status of a Queen! Perhaps every phase has a stage and one must look ahead to know that the nest we gather will always be here for when they take flight.
Wishing you a Happy Mother's day full of love, great reward, knowing that you are an incredible Mama and friend to many.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, I had a great day, a festive lunch with my family and a relaxing afternoon in the garden. I got to plant a little more and this is very much how I love to spend time!
