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
