10 Famous Quotes About Our Mothers

I was so blessed to have a mother who was fun to be with. She was a great listener and totally interested in us, her family. We did not have to fight for her attention – it was just there! As we’d run into the house with excitement, she would stop what she was doing, look us in the eye, listen to what we were sharing and showed true enjoyment as we blurted out whatever the silly current event was. “I found a caterpillar!” “I did a wheelie on my bike, Mom. Wanna see?”

It became my desire that my children would feel just as loved as I did throughout my childhood.

Thinking back to when I was a young mom, my little boy Joshua, then just 4 years old, made the sweetest request. It was bedtime and I had already tucked him in for the night. He called me back into his room and asked for another kiss, saying “Mommy, your kisses give me energy.” Talk about melting a mother’s heart. He sure got a whole bunch of extra kisses that night!
