I always said that was the greatest gift Dad gave me, was to make it possible for me to raise my own kids. It wasn't like we had lots of money either. I clipped coupons, went to garage sales, sewed clothes. I know it meant a lot to you kids even when you went to school, to come home and say "hi mom!” and I was there to hug you and hear about your day. YUP it was exhausting... but so worth it! I really felt that when you left me that little book you made me “childhood memories of my mom” on my pillow on your wedding day. That still remains the best gift I ever got. In those pages you wrote those little things that meant a lot to you. I had it in writing that being a “stay” at home mom was the best thing I ever did. When you were ages 2, 4 & 6 I spent 3 hrs in surgery and 5 days in the hospital after having my left leg screwed back together. Back home it was no picnic but I made it. Dad had times he was laid off and the little money I made wasn't much help, but we made it. What you told other moms at home was wonderful! Every Mother's Day I pick up several Mother's Day cards and send them to moms I know who stay at home and praise them for their tough jobs! It's my little way to encourage them and it's fun. Thanks for writing this. I will share it on my face book. Dad's right... You SHOULD write a book! I love you! — momRolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052196612552506887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079506540232811585.post-27661313582693748702010-11-18T11:46:26.875-06:002010-11-18T11:46:26.875-06:00Thanks for writing this!

"Mom" doesn't sound like enough to many people - yet some people understand 100% that the word "Mom" says it all. I like those people. You are one of them :)Myrna CG Mibushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103642734132391167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079506540232811585.post-52426056610751205202010-11-16T23:02:53.303-06:002010-11-16T23:02:53.303-06:00Thank you!

But they don't see me at 3am still working away (for paid work because this is the only time I can get to myself) and they don't know how much effort I put into making my kids happy and giving them the best life I can give them. I love your blog and you are an inspiration to me. Thanks for voicing what we all feel from time to time, so eloquently and without swear words!Kymmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516674106541261342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079506540232811585.post-44611558056349230352010-11-14T15:17:41.897-06:002010-11-14T15:17:41.897-06:00You need to write a book.
