There is is an instinct in a woman to love most her own child - and an instinct to make any child who needs her love, her own.
Robert Brault
That quote really made me think about my Mom. Because of Mom, I have never, ever had even one moment in my life when I did not feel loved. I also witnessed her motherly love for children to whom she did not give birth, children who needed her. It is from her that I learned how to love others.
My Mom taught me so much - how to read, sew, crochet, even how to mother. Most of my favorite things I learned from her.
My best parts come from my Mom!
The thing I believe my Mom taught and displayed best for me is strength of character. I'm pretty certain my siblings would agree with that statement. Never have I known my Mom to try to do anything less than the right thing. Never ever! I have seen my Mom endure some very trying seasons in her life. She knows what it means to carry a heavy load, yet her strength of character always shines through.
In case you can't tell, I am really proud of my Mom; I always have been. She's beautiful, kind, talented and supportive. I and my siblings really hit the Mom Jackpot! I love you, Mom! I thank God for letting me be mothered by you.
Happy Mother's Day!
