Mother’s Day is for mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, godmothers, step-mothers, foster-mothers, and all the special women in our life who act as our mothers.

Mother’s Day is a perfect time to express your feelings and appreciation to any, and all, of the above mentioned special women in your life.

Today I will share a short excerpt about motherhood, which was shared with me by someone special:

Somebody said:

It takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby…..

Somebody

Doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, “normal” is  history…

Somebody said:

You learn how to be a mother by instinct..

Somebody

Never took a three-year-old shopping...

Somebody said:

If you’re a”good” mother, your child will “turn out good”….

Somebody

Thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee…

Somebody said:

You don’t need an education to be a mother….

Somebody

Never helped a fourth grader with his math…

Somebody said:

You can’t love the second child as much as you love the first ….

Somebody

Doesn’t have two children…

Somebody said:

The hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery….

Somebody

Never watched her “baby” get on the bus for the first day of  kindergarten …or on a plane headed for military “boot camp…”

Somebody said:

A mother can stop worrying after her child gets married…..

Somebody

Doesn’t know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother’s heartstrings…

Somebody said:

A mother’s job is done when her last child leaves home….

Somebody

Never had grandchildren...

Somebody said:

Your mother knows you love her, so you don’t need to tell her….

Somebody

Isn’t a mother…

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers and Mother’s-to-be.

Please enjoy this breathtaking poem.

A baby asked God,

‘They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,

but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?’

God said,

‘Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.’

The child further inquired,

‘But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.’

God said,

‘Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.’

Again the child asked,

‘And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?’

God said,

‘Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear,

and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.’

‘And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?’

God said,

Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.’

‘Who will protect me?’

God said,

‘Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.’

‘But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.’

God said,

‘Your angel will always talk to you about Me

and will teach you the way to come back to Me,

even though I will always be next to you.’

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,

but voices from Earth could be heard

and the child hurriedly asked,

‘God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.’

God said,

‘You will simply call her, ‘Mom.’
