You have taught us all that every moment counts dont let the days go buy!!
At this moment, I understood the importance of saying IN TIME: "I
LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing
in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve,
because these things cannot be put off till "some other time".
~Somebody~
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 being a mother is boring ... somebody never rode in a
car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
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 "good" mothers never raise their voices ... somebody
never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf
ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.
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 chi ld as much as you love
the first ... somebody doesn't have two children. (or more!)
Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing
questions in the books.... somebody never had a child stuff beans up his
nose or in his ears.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labour 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 do her job with her eyes closed and one
hand tied behind her back somebody never organized seven giggling
Brownies
to sell cookies.
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.
And to everyone
who ever had a mother. This isn't just about being a mother, it's about
appreciating ALL the people in your life while you have them....no matter who
that person is. This poem reminds me of Fran, who IS strong yet gentle and the kind of woman, every mother strives to be. I am proud to have known
her, and will never forget her. ~Angelina Conti
