My tribute to some very special mothers...

 

 

...who give sacrificially to the little ones they have been have been blessed with,

 

...who take time to teach, train, admonish, and encourage,

 

...who share the "so happy to see you again" emotions whenever returning home,

 

 

...who are learning how to handle the many frustations and time consuming chores that go with the job,

 

...who offer helping hands and untold amounts of guidance, and leadership,

...who quite freely express surprise, gratitude, and heartfelt appreciation as a daily part of everyday life( bouquets of dandelions included),

 

...who are learning to hold back at times, when it comes to helping, and letting the little ones try on their own, even  though the effort requires huge doses of patience, and lots of spot remover,
  

...all the while, ultimately teaching them how it is all done, so that someday, they will be equipped to carry the torch, in their role as mothers.

Here is a bouquet of flowers just for you, from me, on this Mother's Day weekend.  I hope it adds a touch of joy to your weekend.
