Thanks for sharing all your wonderful mom moments. Your family is very fortunate to have such a wonderful Mother to share these moments with. I have 4 wonderful children myself and a mom to many more over the several decades that I have lived. Those memories are so grand to go back to and share with friends and smile with. Thanks again for sharing.

Dear Emma,

Thank you so much for sharing your mom moments with us…Mothering never really stops, it just changes.. and we grow so much from it… Happy Mother’s Day! xo Deb

Your purse looks kind of like mine, just make yours black and white zebra stripes and two side pockets. I love The big flower on it and I love mine!
I miss my mom, she died 10 years ago, I’m planting flowers on her grave for mothers day/memorial weekend. I was close to her, we never had fights like you hear about mom’s and daughters. I am her only daughter and youngest and she has four sons, two alive and two dead and two miscarriages. She always put us first, clothes, food, what ever it may be that we needed or thought we needed. I can remember when I was little sitting next to her and coloring, one of my favorite memories. I’m tearing up as I type this. She was such a beautiful lady! There are times still I wish I could call her and hear her voice and tell her something, tell her anything. If heaven had skype I would be using it everyday!

Happy Mother’s day to you Deb! And Happy Mother’s day to everyone!

I have no children, but I have this young girl who I use to teach in Sunday school who sits with me every Sunday. Her parents and I joke around, that I get custody of her every Sunday morning. Her mother gave a talk one time on mother’s day and it was about mothers and she said I was another mother to her daughter Kjersti. (its Swedish).

Dear Kimberly,

You know, I was hoping to hear from a farmgirl who " didn’t have children" but fills that role for a child. I think that is one of the most special calls a woman can have.  Your mom sounds like a lovely person and a great mother…You were lucky to have her and she you I can tell…Keep talking to her… I bet she hears you! 🙂 You know moms, we hear EVERYTHING!  I can’t imagine it would be any different in heaven! Thanks so much for sharing your mom moments today Kimberly and Happy Mother’s Day to you… and your mom….xo Deb

My biological clock starting ticking late in my life and you know what? I am so very glad it did. My daughter is a teenager now and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a day when I think about the happenings of her childhood, the mischevius smiles, the laughter, the broken arm (jumping roping over a ball!!) the school years, hugs, tears and of course the arguements!! Even though life can be difficult raising a child alone there is nothing in this world that I would trade for it!! She doesn’t have my love of gardening but when she tells me how pretty a flower is I know she appreciates my mental outlet and will one day give it a try. We are so different, she’s a sociallite and me a bit of a hermit. I sometimes wonder "Is this really MY child?". My greatests moments? When her friends call me mom and say "You have the coolest mom!" My heart swells with love for my daughter and all of her wonderful friends that make my family extended!!

Dear Terry, What beautiful sentiments about being a mom you wrote here today. Through all the ups and downs of child rearing it most certainly is worth it…I love how your daughters friends say you are the coolest mom! I’ve been dubbed Momma Boz or Momma B by our kids friends… I love it! Teenagers get a bum wrap too..  They all make mistakes, experiment, and ARGUE… But, that’s not the time to throw in the towel. They need us more now than ever I think…! Thank you so much for sharing your " mom moments " with us! Happy Mother’s Day! xo Deb

Thanks, Deb, for sharing your beautiful family. I also have 2 teens(boys). One is heading for college in the fall. I remember clearly those early days, when yes it was kinda stressful but my heart was full in a way I had never experienced. And continue to experience. As they grow and start new things, (driving, following their dreams as they make choices about their future, etc.) I find myself feeling that same excitement they are going through. Where they are now, I have distinct memories of being at same age. As a mom, I support them with all that I am, with only the hope they find all that they are…
Happy Mother’s Day!!

So beautifully said Laura… Happy Mother’s Day to you and thank for your mom moments too! xo Deb
