For the Mom's on the board.....

Mothers 
This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in
their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry
Kool-Aid saying, "It's alright honey, Mommy's here."
Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying babies
who can't be comforted.
This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their
hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.
For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween
costumes. And all the mothers who DON'T.
This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see.
And the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes. And for the
mothers who lost their baby in that precious 9 months that they will
never get to watch grow on earth but one day will be reunited with in
Heaven!
This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections are hanging on
their refrigerator doors.
And for all the mothers who froze their buns on metal bleachers at
football, baseball or soccer games instead of watching from the warmth
of their cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see me, Mom?"
they could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world,"
and mean it.
This is for all the mothers who yell at their kids in the grocery store
and swat them in despair when they stomp their feet and scream for ice
cream before dinner. And for all the mothers who count to ten instead,
but realize how child abuse happens.
This is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and
explained all about making babies. And for all the (grand) mothers who
wanted to, but just couldn't find the words.
This is for all the mothers who go hungry, so their children can eat.
For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year.
And then read it again. "Just one more time."
This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their
shoelaces before they started school. And for all the mothers who
opted for Velcro instead.
This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their
daughters to sink a jump shot.
This is for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little
voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own
offspring are at home -- or even away at college - or married.
This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with
stomachaches assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only
to get calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please
pick them up. Right away.
This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the
words to reach them.
This is for all the step-mothers who raised another woman's child or
children, and gave their time, attention, and love... sometimes totally
unappreciated!
For all the mothers who bite their lips until they bleed when their
14-year-olds dye their hair green.
For all the mothers of the victims of recent school shootings, and the
mothers of those who did the shooting.
For the mothers of the survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of
their TVs in horror, hugging their child who just came home from
school, safely.
This is for all the mothers who taught their children to be peaceful,
and now pray they come home safely from a war.
What makes a good Mother anyway? Is it patience? Compassion? Broad
hips? The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a
shirt, all at the same time? Or is it in her heart? Is it the ache you
feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street,
walking to school alone for the very first time? The jolt that takes
you from sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2 A.M. to put your hand on
the back of a sleeping baby? The panic, years later, that comes again
at 2 A.M. when you just want to hear their key in the door and know they
are safe again in your home? Or the need to flee from wherever you are
and hug your child when you hear news of a fire, a car accident, a child
dying?
The emotions of motherhood are universal and so our thoughts are for
young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep
deprivation... And mature mothers learning to let go.
For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers.
Single mothers and married mothers.
Mothers with money, mothers without.
This is for you all.
For all of us.
Hang in there.
In the end we can only do the best we can.
Tell them every day that we love them.

once upon a time, a little baby was going to be send to Earth and He asked God:
-You are going to send me tomorrow to the Earth, but ,How I am going to live up there, I am so small and fragile?-
-I chose and Angel to wait for you up there,- The Lord answered.
-But here is Heaven all I do is sing and smile and that is enough for my happiness, will I do that up there?-
-That Angel will sing to you and smile to you everyday and you will be very happy with her songs and her smiles-
-And how I am going to understand when they talk to me if I do not know the strange language of the men?-
-That Angel will talk and she will teach you the sweetest words that a human being can hear-
-And how I am going to do if I want to talk to you?-
-That Angel will put your little hands together and she will teach you to pray-
-I heard that there are bad men on Earth, who will protect me?-
-That Angel will protect you with her own life-
-But I will be always sad because I will not see you. Without you I will feel very lonely!-
-That Angel will talk to you about me and she will show you the way to come back to me-
-Dear Lord, Please tell me her name?-
And The Lord answered:
-The Angel's name is MOM-.

my 5-year-old does not go to school yet but she knows a few letters, so yesterday she made me a card, all full with i, e, m, and o's and lots of hearts everywhere..
I asked her what the letter says and she said:
Oh Mami, can't you read? it says :
I love you Mommy with all my heart forever and ever!
God, that was all I needed, I cried my heart out !

One of the letters from my son that I will keep forever -
(set the stage) I'd kept telling my 8 yr old son to clean his room, he didn't and I snapped. "GET YOUR BUTT IN THERE AND CLEAN IT UP NOW!"
Several minutes later, he came into the kitchen with gigantic crocodile tears running down his face and left me the following note:
"Dear Mom,
I'm sorry I didn't clean my room. First I was in the bathroom for 10 minutes, and then I was making something and then I forgot.
Will you forgive me? YES OR NO
If yes, then thank you. If no, then go back to dear mom, and read it again.
Love,
Your son, Harry"
