Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. The mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child's mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness,
As we age, we begin to realize the value of a mother's love
and the enormous depth of her commitment to us.
No other relationship we form can ever be as close
or profound as that with our mothers.

I'm so thankful not only to be a mother to Sarah and Emily,
but to also be the daughter of such an amazing, lovely and talented woman.
Happy Mother's Day.
Thank you! And thank you for being the bright, delightful and wonderful daughter you are! One of the joys of parenthood is that you finally "get" how you have been loved my your parents, indeed, how you are loved by our Heavenly Father. I think loving and caring and nurturing and treasuring are the best reciprocal opportunities of mortality and surely must be so through the eternities.
