As I'm writing this, its only the day before Mother's day. But what the heck...better early than late...hehehe...
Last week, on a Saturday, I was watching TV when it dawned on me that it was almost Mother's Day. I had doubts about when it was going to be...that's one of my biggest problems, I can hardly keep track of birthdays and special occasions unless its my immediate family like my mom and sisters. The rest...um..thank goodness for Yahoo calendar or birthday alarm or Friendster, because I really don't remember birthdays. Probably the month, but never the date...seems so hard to keep track of dates. So there I was, typing away on my pc as well, reading the news and watching TV (yeah, that's multitasking for you) when I realized that I didn't know when Mother's Day really was...so I tried to look it up at my calendar (courtesy of BDO...hehehe, but there was nothing, made me wish those big calendars of old that shops used to give with the high tide and low tide as well as well as holidays). So finally, to end the suspense I searched in Yahoo....hehehe and luckily, its tomorrow, sigh. At least I'm not late.
So anyways, I thought I'd look at some quotations that I'd send to my mom, and my sisters who are now both mothers about motherhood. My favorite of the lot are the following:
Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds . Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one Mother in the whole world.
~ Kate Douglas Wiggin
A mother's love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending. It keeps going around and around ever expanding, touching everyone who comes in contact with it.
~ Art Urban
It is at our mother's knee that we acquire our noblest and truest and highest ideals. ~ Mark Twain
Listen to your mother. Mothers are always right.
~ Brian Baldinger, Kids' Little Instruction Book (I think this one is my mom's favorite.
All mothers are rich when they love their children...Their love is always the most beautiful of joys.
~ Maurice Maeterlinck
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
~ Honoré de Balzac
And here's a special one for my sisters who have sons....hehehe....
Men are what their mothers made them.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
