mamma mia- here I go again!

Motherhood.
The most important thing about Motherhood is that it goes beyond the grave-
beyond the last thing you hear someone say-
beyond the last time you had a hug-
beyond the words you wish they could hear.








First time Motherhood-
Scary, exciting, momentous, a friend for life, never completely alone again, someone to talk too, eternal perspective, linked by biology, geneology, and love.

Motherhood lessons-
Teaching, nurturing, showing.
Giggles, make beleive, friendship.



Motherhood Milestones
Births, deaths, birthdays, holidays, firsts, school, talents, competitions, vacations, visiting, graduations, boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, 
GRANDCHILDREN!
Special Mothers/daughters
Melissa- First grandchild-responsible, caring, hard worker, scriptures, family home evening, friend, fun, smart, beautiful, sarcastic, creative, non confrontational, humble, happy.
Emily- Kind, thoughtful, determined, compassionate, fun, beautiful, worrier, nostalgic, brave, listener, dependable, quick thinker, problem solver,creative, good example.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suzanne- Suzy-Q, artistic, talented, laid back, patient, fun, beautiful, conscientious, self conscious, playful, good memory, analytical, intelligent, trend setter, generous.
Lessons I learned from my Mother-

All you can do is your best
Say what you mean and mean what you say
Leave the judging up to the Lord
Things all work out- one way or another
___________
Lessons I learned from my daughters:
*************************
Never give up
What goes around comes around
Just kidding means- just kidding
anyone can change- given enough time
don't hold grudges
wierd is just that- weird
kids are listening when you think they aren't
Doing your best is accepted- and good enough!
XOXOXOXOXOXOX
Happy Mother's Day Melissa, Emily and Suzanne
I wish I could be with you in person, I am still with you in spirit.
I love you, pray for you and am constantly amazed by you!
Love,
MOM

What a beautiful blog Mom! I love you and hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day! You have shown me through your example what kind of mother I wanted to be to my own children. I miss you, love you, and hope I can pattern my life after yours.
