Foundations...

The role of 'Mother' is all too often taken for granted.

It's not really understood by all what a mother does in the background, in order for things to run the way they do.

The pride a mother feels when she see's her child take their place in the world and achieve all those hopes and dreams she held in her heart for them, is worth more than any weight in gold.

But, they say they couldn't care less.  They don't need her.  

But, remove the mother and the ground falls apart.  The foundations shatter.  And their need for her love is immense.

From the day you are born, we are bound to you and nothing, NOTHING you throw back at us in anger, frustration or fear can change it.  We'll be hurting and we'll be in pain, but it won't change it.

We will love you til our dying breathe, even if we disagree with your opinions, your lifestyle or your path.  We can only pray that God will guide you when we cannot and protect you where you won't allow us.

We're Mother's - not miracle workers and sometimes we wish we were.  But, all we can give in the face of adversity is a Mother's love.

Don't try to put a price on it, because one day you will truly know just how priceless it really is.
