When you become a Mom, you will be one for life.

There is no career change when the kids grow up and move out.

They will move on & start thier own lives; but you will still be there waiting for the times when they need you.

Sometimes they don't call, or write, and you feel left out, forgotten and no longer important.

But...once in a while..they do call, and they do need you and you're there...ready to do what Mom's do best.

Listen, encourage, rejoice, suggest, and Love.

We aren't perfect, we make many mistakes, but we do love unconditionally.  We get our hopes up, we dream big for our children, we pour out till empty, we pray, we cry, we worry, we get so much joy out of what they do, and so much sadness when things don't go the way we want for them.  When they are in danger we feel helpless, when they are far away we can't protect them and we lay awake at night praying to God that everything will be allright.

Don't tell us not to...we are Mom's and that's what we do.
