Happy Mother's Day




        A Tribute To Mothers

        When God thought of mother,
        He must have laughed with satisfaction...
        So rich, so deep, so divine,
        So full of soul, power, and beauty
        Was the conception.
        "Henry Ward Beecher"


        A mother's arms
        Are made of tenderness
        And children sleep soundly in them
        "Victor Hugo"


        My mother was
        The most most beautiful woman
        I ever saw
        All that I am I owe to my mother.
        I attribute all my success in life
        To the moral, intellectual, and
        Physical education I received from her
        "George Washington"


        All that I am or hope to be
        I owe to my angel mother
        "Abraham Lincoln"


        Some are kissing mothers
        And some are scolding mothers
        But it is love just the same
        And most mothers kiss and scold together
        "Pearl Buck"


        My mother raised me
        And then freed me
        "Maya Angelou"


        "How are you?"
        From your mother
        Is never a casual question.
        Nomatter how old you are
        She really wants to know
        "author unknown"






        A Tribute To Grandmothers

        Parent-child relationships
        Are complex
        Grandmother-grandchild relationships
        Are simple
        Grandmas are short on criticism
        And long on love

        What's so simple
        Even a child can manipulate it?
        Why, a grandmother, of course!

        Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves
        Without rebuke or effort to change us
        As no one in our entire lives has ever done
        Not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends
        And hardly ever our own grown children
        "Ruth Goode"


        Being a grandmother is our last chance
        To act like a kid
        Without being accused of being
        In our second childhood
        "Grandma Jan"


        That flamboyant grandmother
        Wearing black leather
        And riding a Harley
        May not fit the picture
        Of an old-fashioned granny
        Yet she is a confident
        And free-spirited woman
        Her children call her eccentric,
        But her grandkids call her "cool"




        The Perks of Grandmotherhood

        Your maternal instincts are rekindled

        You appreciate the continuity of life

        You start mellowing out

        You live every day to it's fullest

        You accept things you cannot change

        You pay attention to your own physical
        And emotional well-being

        You make time for travel and romance




        The other day I pulled on a sweater
        And my mother's arm came through the sleeve
        The circle is now complete
        I have turned into my mother
        The physical transformation is the least of it
        I am now doing all the things she used to do
        That Drove Me Crazy




        Happy Mothers Day to
        Past, Present
        And Future Moms Everywhere




        I dedicate this to my MagicMakers,
        Patrick, Angela, Ashley, Andrew,
        Gabrielle, Kelsey, Joe, and Jimmy
        Also to...
        My Children
        Patrick, Paul, Joni, and Jen
        Without them I wouldn't be "Mom Mom"

        and to My Mother whom I still very much miss after 31 years


        Alice O'Connor Murray
        (1913-1976)
        with Bernard, Roy & Joanne
        1945

        Mom, I Love You
