Mother's Day Quote

I love it. I wrote a poem for my mother as a part of her gift this year. It started like this...

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
It took me till parenthood,
To truly appreciate you.

It took me until this year to realize how hard my mom really had to work to raise me and my siblings. In the poem I told her about how good of a job she did and how much her training and love has affected my life with my children.

Happy Mother's Day!

I love it!

My mom is a very pretty woman , she is wonderful. I remember when I was a kid, my parents only eat vegetables so her children can eat the meat. We were poor so my parents can only buy 1/2 lbs beef to be divided in 3 growing kids,
She also use the same clothes, shoes and can't buy make up or body lotion so she can buy us books. Her only make up is the 30 cents powder from pharmacy. Her eczema grew badly that her legs became darkened because continuous scratching ( because she didn't have body lotion).
Anyway, during bed time, I really enjoy being with her. She smells so fragrant, always clean and always hugging. She told me this : you don't have to be pretty and fashionable, as long as you are clean, neat and tidy and confident!!!
I love you mom! I hope I can be like my mom, she is my role model.

You don't love someone because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.

In my country, there is a saying: heaven is under mother's feet. So respect your mom!

My favourite is by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

“There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.”

Oh boy, can I relate to this one! I liked this one so much that on my second child's Christening cake I had 'There was never a child so lovely' written in frosting.

Love it. It's my story... i miss the salon! I love my kiddos more it would seem! lol

I used to eat sitting down.
Now I eat in the car around town!
