she's given: The softness of a loving touch, A gentle guide for living; A nightly tip-toe in a rm, An understanding look; But, sometimes when I think of Mom I think of what she took. She took a child & taught it how to live this life with pride, She took those kindergarten tears, And kept them all inside. She took the hands that longed to hold her child & not let go, Used them to push her child along the way, to thrive & grow. Took time to do some other things, like sew, & clean & cook, and never thought to ask for thanks for all the things she took. Thanks, Mom

My dear Lillian - this is lovely - thank you so very much for sharing it - Happy Mother's Day to you little sweetheart.

Ditto to you too Lillian.

I've just had a lovely day spent with my Mother and Father, our daughter Dana,Jason our son-in-law and the 3 grand children and Jason's Grandmother Oma. Jason's mum and dad are in Canada on holiday.

Our younger daughter Amy is celebrating her 1st Mother's Day and Steve has taken her out for the whole day to pamper her!

Our poor son Ben has to work at the Scratchley's Restaurant and they are booked out for hours!!!!! Naomi was going to come but Cooper has a bad cough - poor little darlin'.

Hope your day was lovely - love Chris

P.S. I got the KD Lang CD that I've been wanting for a while and La Boheme 2 set CD and a lovely canvas with all the children's hand prints on them - very touching.

This picture is the 3 generations - Aqualina was asleep in the pram!
