...with mother's day here in some countries, and just around the corner for many others....what makes a mother for you?
What special qualities does she have, or does/did yours? Or what qualities of Motherhood, have you discovered becoming one yourself? My children taught me patience, they taught me to be selfless, when they were tiny and helpless, they taught me kindness and compassion, how to be fully present in the moment, and to live in that moment...they reminded me of the world at my feet...the almost invisible world going on around us. They taught me expansion of my heart to infinite dimensions, they taught me flexibility, how to laugh at myself, and how to love without condition....they are my greatest teachers, and without them, I would not be the person I am today...I am incredibly blessed to have them call me mother. I am drawn to the quiet, calm mothers...the gentle and serene mothers...I have learnt through other mothers, humour, and a selflessness that was inconceivable before I became one myself. What does mother mean to you? |

IDK it just is what I am. There was never anything else I wanted to be besides a wife & a mother
well the wife part is over but being a mom lives on! It means- knowing about cool technology and great new music cause my sons share their interests with me it means worrying when Mr. Race Car tells me he won't drive too fast it means being proud at graduations cause they've always been good students it means hearing great jokes and a lot of laughter cause they know they can talk to me it means always having someone(s) I can talk to and just totally be honest - like - really? ya - we can gripe together & often do about the insanity that life can be sometimes it means comfy Christmases w/ lots of laughter and they still pick on each other at 17, 25 and 27 like they did when they were 8 & 9... |

What does mother mean to you? a mother that goes out of her way and finding no trouble in helping raise a grandchild with special needs despite the age she is

..i thought that it was so eloquently worded in the movie The Crow when Eric Draven said "mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children".......but being a single father i have had to be a mother at times to my own son..without the breast feeding of course..altho there was that one episode on Family Guy i found amusing..but no ...

I didn't get along well with my own mom for much of my life
but she gave me some things no one else could have courage, attitude, strength, forgiveness, and unconditional love I was not an easy child to love but she did |

♥ A Mother's love starts at conception, as she gives her baby her loving affection.
From baby's first cry, she will never have to ask herself why. Everyday that she lives, it's to her baby she gives. Through every act of her guidance and care, there is nothing a Mother shall not dare.. Her heart and her child both share an equal part. They form a union of identity that lasts through all eternity.♥ Happy Mother's Day Jess...(((((HUGS))))) |

Depends on who is being called mother.
For some, it's just a title given to them simply because they are breeders, nothing more. For others it's the title of a real life super hero. |

To me a Mother is one that loves her children unconditional, one that wipes the tears away and chases all their fears away. One that no matter what when her kids truly need her she is there for them and helps guide them along the way.....
I only hope that I have become that Mother for my kids...... I never had that chance with mine since she passed away when I was only a baby... But I only hope that I have been half the Mother she would have been if things had been different....

Mother....the constant..the gentle touch, the soft stroke, the straightening of clothes, the favourite meals, the endless making of dressup costumes from almost nothing at the last minute...the fear as the child strides out into the world...the silent tear as the little hand is released on the first day of school..the bust your heart wide open with pride at their achievements.
I didn't have a lot of that growing up with the familial mother...however, in my lifetime I have had many mothers.. Some appearing in hand knitted cardigans, on a train, sharing their wisdom,others sharing a soft touch and a quiet smile, still others carrying to my door a home made soup when I have been ill.. Mother to me is the gentleness in this world, the nurture and the strength of wisdom...
