I received a wonderful book some time ago from one of my children called "I Love You, Mom." There is no note in the book stating who gave it and I cannot remember which child did. It could have been from any or even all of my children because they are all thoughtful enough to have shared such a sweet bunch of poems with their mom. One in particular, written by Barbara Cage, spoke right to the point of our most recent discussions within our family. It expresses in poetic words my feelings about my children., I am going to copy it (just like it appears in my book) to this blog:
The Love Between a Mother and Child is Forever
The love we share
as mother and child
is a bond of the strongest kind.
It is a love of the present,
interwoven with memories
of the past
and dreams of the future.
It is strengthened by overcoming
obstacles
and facing fears and challenges
together.
It is having pride in each other
and knowing that our love
can withstand anything.
It is sacrifice and tears,
laughter and hugs.
It is understanding, patience,
and believing in each other.
It is wanting only the best
for each other
and wanting to help any time
there is a need.
It is respect, a hug,
and unexpected kindness.
It is making time to be together
and knowing just what to do and say.
It is an unconditional,
forever kind of love.

Well, I can tell you it wasn't me that gave you that book. Not that I don't agree with the sentiment, but I'm just not likely to give anyone a book like that. I prefer to be a big sap in other ways!
I know. I am sure it was one of your sisters who gave it to me but their memory is not any better than mine... What does that tell you? :-)
