Mother's Day...

I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers that I know. Thank you Mom, for understanding me when no one else does and for teaching me all that you have and still continue to! I want to say to my sister, Anne, that I am proud of you! You work so hard and are learning as you go, as we all are, and your children are amazing. They know love and that is the most important thing in the world. I want to thank Nan and Grampy for having four wonderful daughters and for making being a woman in your family so special! Thank you Dave for being such a Feminist! I love the matriarchal feeling in your family - that women and mothers are special, the thinking that our children make us shine even more than we alredy do is beautiful. I know nothing makes me happier than when my children laugh, and I know you all feel the same. To Kira and Heather - CONGRATULATIONS! I feel so strongly that you both will be amazing mothers! Isn't the cycle of life amazing? I know I'm not the wisest woman by any means, but to look at my daughter and see my mothers eyes and Barbra's ankles and my smile, you will see in your child beauty you never saw in yourself. I feel blessed to know the Mothers I know, with heart and energy (most of the time), and passion for their children that never sleeps. Mom, Nan, Barb, Lori, Joey, Jenny, Anne, and my friends who are amazing mothers...Paula, Kim, Tonya - just to name a few, and to our mothers to be, Heather and Kira. I love you all and wish I could send diamonds to every one of you!!!
Happy Mother's Day!
