I AM MOTHER

I AM MOTHER along with a wife, friend, sister, aunt and daughter. However, mothering is the most work and time consuming. When one has good friends like I do, work it is not being a friend! When I have such wonderful parents like I do, then being a daughter to them is a pleasure and so on. Once a mother, always a mother. I remember when our boys were very little I asked a mother of teenagers, does it get easier as they age? She said, easy is not the word, different is how she described it. Our duties are constantly changing. We are blessed to have raised three sons that are generous, considerate and loving. Our work has paid off! I am happy I became a mom and so enjoy them into adulthood.

 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there as you are proud to be a mother and proud of your children as I am. I am spending this day away from our boys but all spoke to me and said they loved me :-)

We leave tomorrow morning for Vero Beach. We will be on the ICW (Intercoastal Waterway) once again traveling northward to our final destination St. Augustine Marine Centre. We have enjoyed our last week here in Stuart, visted the historical downtown, listened to live music and ate at the Sailor's Return restaurant here at the marina.

We have met some great people here and will get reacquainted with them in November as that is when these boaters return here to provision for the Bahamas.

Goodbye Stuart.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. -- Rajneesh
