When I was in my twenties and thirties, I used to sit in church with tears rolling down my cheeks every Mother's Day when the minister would recognize all of the Moms in the congregation and instruct the ushers to pass out pink carnations. For seventeen years, I had hoped and prayed for a baby. My husband and I had given up hope after three miscarriages when we learned that I was pregnant with our precious daughter. For the past twenty-one years, I have watched her blossom into a beautiful young woman who I love with all my heart.
Since tomorrow is Mother's Day, I wanted to write a post honoring all of the Moms and Grand-moms out there in blogland I have come to know in the three short months I have been blogging:
Moms who spend time with their children like ~J, Tree, Terra, Dana, Brenda Susan, Kelly, Jen, Traychelle, Rosie P, Karin Katherine, Robyn, Oka, Soup Baby, and Purseblogger .......
Moms like The Empress, Phyllis at All Things Beautiful, Midwest Mama, Michelle, Melissa, Kathy, and Over Yonder who take the time teach their children at home.........
Moms like Adrienne, Lauri, Velvet Over Steel and Debbie from single/complicated who make sacrifices as single Moms to do their best for their children.....
Moms like T.J., Crystal, Messy Mommy, Heather, Debbie who is becoming her Mother...lol, Teresa, Marla, Dolly, Michelle, Z and C's Mom, Bossy Betty, Arizona Mamma and Magee Mommy who laugh with their children.....
Teacher Moms like Bits N Pieces, Theresa M, Mrs. C, and Lipstick Life who are teachers in public or private schools.

Moms who never age like Java...sigh
Last but not least, the GrandMoms out there like some of my favorite bloggers: Jenny Matlock, Ms. Anthropy, Andrea, Bernie and Teresa at Too Many Heartbeats.
When I read your blogs, I delight in them so much because they bring back memories for me of time spent with my own precious daughter. Happy Mother's Day to all you card carrying Moms! You've earned it.
Enjoy......................
Marlene,
I don't know if you are a Mom or not, but Happy Mother's Day anyway!

Why Did God Make Mothers?
Why Did Your Dad Marry Your Mom?
When Mother Teresa received her Nobel Prize, she was asked, "What can we do to promote world peace?" She replied, "Go home and love your family."
I hope you all enjoy time with your family today! Blessings
