American comedienne, Phyllis Diller once said,

“I want all my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.”

Expectations are high for mothers. Jill Churchill wrote,

“There is no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.”

Helen Rice wrote of the challenges of mothers:

“A mother’s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mother as a new mother

Kudos for my mother who was always there for us. Love  you.
