The Best Mother in the Whole Universe

“[A woman with a mother heart] knows that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily mothering is far more lasting, far more powerful, far more influential than any earthly position or institution invented by man.”

let every mother realize that she has no greater blessing than the children which have come to her as a gift from the Almighty; that she has no greater mission than to rear them in light and truth, and understanding and love; that she will have no greater happiness than to see them grow into young men and women who respect principles of virtue, who walk free from the stain of immorality and from the shame of delinquency. . . . I remind mothers everywhere of the sanctity of your calling. No other can adequately take your place. No responsibility is greater, no obligation more binding than that you rear in love and peace and integrity those whom you have brought into the world. –G.B.H


As we grow, we learn and experience realities in life. Our mothers educate us in all disciplines of life and guide us with their faith, practicality, optimism and humor. From them we learn the value of what it is to truly live. As a result of these lessons we become better and more accepting as individuals. As we create our own families, our mothers' wisdom, trickles down, forming a legacy from one generation to the next. Mothers are heroes. They give us birth, nurture our minds and bodies, lift our spirits in good or bad times, and give love. They show us how to be strong, how to live, how to be respectful and kind, and how to survive.All children have a bond with their mother, an unwavering tie. As we grow and mature, we realize our mother is the one constant who will guide and watch over us whatever we have become or where ever we are. The journey that mother and child take binds them inseparable from one lifetime to the next and the memories created linger all the way. The legacy of motherhood is not a burden to her child – it's a gift a child keeps and holds closest to heart.




My darling Mother

Having a mother like you while growing up was the greatest gift and biggest advantage anyone could ever have given me. It is because of the confidence and values that you instilled in me that made me who I am today. Thank you for shaping me into a person who I like and am proud to be. Thank you letting us believe that we could be whoever we wanted to be, do whatever we wanted to do, there were no limitations except our drive, ambition and creativity. When I was young I remember you bandaging my knees and kissing my boo-boo's. You taught all of us how to be little ladies you certainly did not wish for us to act like spoiled little brats! We learned manners, how to sit and when to keep our skirts down. There's just so many good memories of us and sad ones as well but I love to keep the good ones intact;-) Chen-Chen, gordo, and I adore you Mummy, and we thank you for all the things you've done to make our lives more easier and to have come this far in life. Now that I'm a mother I will soon have trials and difficulties down the road, but it is you who I think of whenever I see my foot stuck in the mud. I will be the best mommy I can, because there is no greater gift than the calling of motherhood!!!!! I'm truly blessed with such a wonderful family and most of all for having a mother like you!!!

I love you for so many reasons,

I love you because you taught me respect,

I love you because you did not ever neglect,

I love you because you allowed us to be children

I love you because you disciplined with love,

I love you because you taught me how to bake,

I love you because you taught me how to cook,

I love you because even when I failed you never gave up,

I love you because you make me smile,

I love you because you love unconditionally,

I love you because you never placed any conditions on me,

I love you because you believed in me,

I love you because through any sorrow you are my sunshine,

I love you for so many other reasons and these are only a few , but I love you simply because you are only you! Not only on any special day but I will love you forever and always! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOMMY!!!


Your daughter,


Isabel
