Happy Mothers Day to ALL the WONDERFUL MOTHERS in the WORLD!

If I Knew As A Child 

If I knew as a child what I know now, Mom,

I probably wouldn't have made things

so hard for you.

I would have understood

that you were looking out for my best interest.

even though it may not have seemed so at the time. 

I would have known how difficult it is to let go,

to stand back and let someone you love

learn from their mistakes. 

I would have realized

how fortunate I was to have a mother

who was always there for me,

even after an argument,

even after I'd said things

I shouldn't have. 

While it's too late for a lot of things

it's not too late for me to tell you

that I appreciate how loving you are,

how giving you've always been

and that even though

I may not always be good at showing it,

I love you very much.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY 

to all of the 

WONDERFUL MOTHERS!

Especially MINE!!!

Below are pictures from my collection of photos 

that remind me of wonderful MOTHERS.  

(Sad to say none of the photos had any notations on them.)

 She looks like a perfect Mom, like June Cleaver.

Waiting for the children to come for a visit.

The picture above was taken in July of 1913.

 Sweet family photo...

Enjoy your day MOMS!
