From the mouths of babes.....

A very Happy Mother's Day to every women whos has filled any important role in anyone's life. Our mothers - because we're all here because of them. Our grandmothers - who at times are better than moms because we get all the love (if not more) of a mother minus the pressure to behave or be responsible. Grannies love us no matter what. Our daughters - in whom we place our hearts the day they are born and also the hopes and prayers that they'll be even better than us some day. Our sisters - who we grew, played, fought, and made up with. Somewhere along the way to adulthood they turned into people we really liked. (or did we turn into people that they really liked finally?) And all of the roommates, neighbors, coworkers, and best friends that have been there for us. It matters not if it was to share a laugh, a trouble, a heartache, a grievance, or a joy. When a person is there to support you - that's what matters most.
