To my Mommy, my Sister, my Sister-in-Law, and my Mother-in-Law. You are each amazing women and Mothers! I love each of you and hope you each had a beautiful Mother's Day!
I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine - she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights. ~Adabella Radici
All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother. ~Abraham Lincoln
One of the very few reasons I had any respect for my mother when I was thirteen was because she would reach into the sink with her bare hands - bare hands - and pick up that lethal gunk and drop it into the garbage. To top that, I saw her reach into the wet garbage bag and fish around in there looking for a lost teaspoon. Bare hands - a kind of mad courage. ~Robert Fulghum

That last quote is hilarious. I have certainly become less squeamish since becoming a mother. Mostly because of all the bodily excretions my children expel, which I have to deal with.
I love those quotes! I remember Becky in mom's basement one night... baby Harley had puked into her blankie and Becky rinsed it out in the utility sink. The drain was clogged and she reached right in to clear it out... low and behold it was clogged with a dead mouse. Hilarious for me... not so much for her.
Deanna,
I just read this lovely post. Thank you so much! Every Mother's Day I think of my own mother, of course, but I also think with love and gratitude of my daughters and daughters-in-law who are serving on the "front lines" of motherhood so beautifully and so well.
Thank you for all you do and are.
Looking forward to July!
Love,
Sheila
