"Happy Mother's Day" Tradition is a form of promise from parent to child. It's a way to say. "I love you," "I'm here for you," and "Some things will not change." Lynn Ludwick
In Mama's little treasure box there are some tiny, lacy socks
And a beaded bracelet that's too small for her to wear,
There are pictures made of scribbles, little bibs for catching dribbles,
And a shiny bow that's tied around a lock of wispy hair.
There's no insurance on this treasure.
She says that no one can measure
Just how rich a mom is she
With memories of her family.
Pat Matuszak
No one expects or cares if my home is always spotless, every toy picked up, every table shining like the wax commercials. What they do care about, what they do notice, is if there is warmth and love in the home. If I am honest, I have to admit that many of the expectations and demands are from no one but myself--not from my husband, not from my family, not from my friends, and certainly not from the Lord Jesus.
Gigi Graham Tchividjian
The measure of your real success is one you cannot spend--it's the way your child describes you when talking to a friend.
Martin Baxbaum
A mother's love perceives no impossibilities.
Paddock
A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. . .but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.

I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground. You run with them until your're both breathless. They crash. . . you add a longer tail. . . you patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You wattch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they'll fly. . .
Erma Bombeck
Children seldom misquote you. They more often repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
Mae Maloo
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
Phyllis Diller
What a shock! Our children do not always fit into our fantasies. They do not always provide us with the "perfect little family." They do not always fit in with our schemes and plans. And the worst thing about them is that we simply cannot get them shaped up the way we want them and expect them to stay that way.
When we give birth to a child, we give birth to a process that continues in one form or another for the rest of our lives. Somehow, we seemed to have missed the concept that parenting is an intimate, interactive process that continues.
When we stop trying to make our children fit our fantasies of who they should be, we can begin to see who they are!
