Sometimes, others say things more eloquently than I could ever hope to. Here are some of my favorites on motherhood…
Happy Mothers Day to all Moms and all Hopeful Moms. Most especially to MY Mom…
Irish Baby Blessing
May all the blessing of our Lord touch your life today.
May He send His little angels to protect you on your way.
Such a wee little fit, sent from above.
Someone so precious to cherish and love.
May sunshine and moonbeams dance over your head.
As you quietly slumber in your bed.
May good luck be with you wherever you go.
And your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.
“Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood – finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.”
― Jodi Picoult, Perfect Match
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of life.
~Maureen Hawkins
“The decision to become a mother is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
“For the mother is and must be, whether she knows it or not, the greatest, strongest, and most lasting teacher her children have.”
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty
“God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.”
There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one.” ~ Jill Churchill
