Real Mothers

I thought this was a sweet e-mail that someone sent to me.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy
ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't
come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum
just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' and get
their answer when a little voice says, 'Because I love you best.'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not
measured by height or years or grade...It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...



4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole
lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know
quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know
that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly
old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out
of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little
bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get
Mom' s opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have
thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with
Mom.



The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she
wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair . The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul ... It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
