Very touching Mother facts !

When you came into the world, she held you in her arms.
You thanked her by wailing like a banshee.
When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you.
You thanked her by crying all night long.
When you were 2 years old, she taught you to walk.
You thanked her by running away when she called.

soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another.

You thanked her by asking to sit in a different row.
When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows.
You thanked her by waiting until she left the house.

Those teenage years
When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming.
You thanked her by telling her she had no taste.
When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp.

When you were 17, she was expecting an important call.
You thanked her by being on the phone all night.
When you were 18, she cried at your high school graduation.
You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn.

Growing old and gray
When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition,
drove you to campus, carried your bags.
You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't
be embarrassed in front of your friends.
When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone.
You thanked her by saying, "It's none of your business."
When you were 21, she suggested certain careers for your future.
You thanked her by saying, "I don't want to be like you."
When you were 22, she hugged you at your college graduation.

When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment.
You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly.
When you were 24, she met your fiance and asked about your plans for the future.
You thanked her by glaring and growling, "Muuhh-ther, please!"
When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told
you how deeply she loved you.
You thanked her by moving halfway across the country.
When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby.
You thanked her by telling her, "Things are different now."

You thanked her by saying you were "really busy right now."
When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her.
You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children.


And then, one day, she quietly died. And everything you never did came
crashing down like thunder.


Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute/show appreciation to
the person called Mother though some may not say it openly to their mother.
There's no substitute for her. Cherished every single moment.
Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our
thoughts, she is still your mother!!!
She will be there for you...to listen to your woes, your braggings, your
frustations, etc.
Ask yourself.....have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her
"blues" of working in the kitchen, her tiredness???
Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though you may have a
different view from hers.
Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.

**DON'T TAKE FOR GRANTED THE THINGS CLOSEST TO YOUR HEART. CLING TO THEM AS
U WOULD YOUR LIFE, FOR WITHOUT THEM, LIFE IS MEANINGLESS
 
blimey!! someone pass me a tissue xxxx
 
THIS IS LOVELY!!!!! ILOVE IT, I NEED TO PRINT IT OUT FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD (FORGIVE THE CAPS, I'M TYPING WITH ONE HAN AND HOLDING TH BABY IN THE OTHER) :eek:

Very touching :)

Lel, that was lovely. It really makes you think doesn't it.
I am such an ungrateful cow, glad I went to see my mum today.

That reminded me of one of my favourite Tammy Wynette songs called No Charge:

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen
one evening while she was fixing supper, and he
handed her a piece of paper that he had been
writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an
apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: .50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: .25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and
the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind.
She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on,
and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you were
growing inside me: No Charge.
For all the nights that I've sat up with you,
doctored and prayed for you: No Charge.
For all the trying times, and all the tears that
you've caused through the years: No Charge.
For all the nights that were filled with dread,
and for the worries I knew were ahead: No Charge.
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your
nose: No Charge, Son.
When you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.
When the boy finished reading what his mother had
written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked
straight at his mother and said,
'Mom, I sure do love you'. And then he took the
pen and in great big letters he wrote: 'PAID IN FULL'
 
aw they are both lovely!!!

Happy Mothers day to all the mums on here xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
the sad thing is you dont think that way when you are a child xxx
 
I don't know which to say boo hoo or awwww :Love:





 
:cry: Im welling up here. I cant take any more
 
Oh they are both very nice and very true I thought I would add this one.

Before I Was a Mom

Before I was a Mom,
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing,
I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom,
I slept as late as I wanted,
Never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth every day.

Before I was a Mom,
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or
Forgot words to lullaby.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn’t worry whether or not
My plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on, chewed on, peed on.
I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts,
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child, so that doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
Every ten minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
The wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much
Before I was a Mom.


Caz xxx:)


 
Blimey!!!! I was going to bed....now I'm just going to get the tissues!!!!!

:hug: XXXX
 
AAaaaww, they both made me cry!!!

omg, luckily my bf isn't here to see my eyes tear-up infront of the computer screen!! :cry:
very touching!!
reminds me how much i love my mommy (and daddy for that matter)
they've been so good to me!
 
before I was a mum i didn't know what it was like to have my heart out side my body,
what a beautiful line.:hug:
 
Blimey:cry:
Haven't been here for what seems like years, and when I do, im balling my eyes out. In a nice way mind....

That was beautiful Lell
really brings home what you should never take for granted..

I know Mums can be a bit of a pain at times but they are only looking out for their children! You only realise this when your older lol

The others are lovely too.

I salute all the Mums in the past, present and the future!!

Take care

The grin one really got me...I love to see my "pooh bear's" toothless grin.
and I couldn't tell you how long I have sat up watching him sleep...No one but a mother understands these things and I am so glad I am among the ranks!!!!!!!! :hug:

Our mother's day doesn't come til May, but happy mother day to all of you guys and may it be filled with warmth and blessings!!!!
