Morning everyone Thanks to all for the Mother's Day wishes - may I add my good wishes to you all. I had chocolate for breakfast - how decadent! Loved the thoughts on being a mother Heather - how very true. Have a good day everyone XX Anna PS How tragic is your story about the 3 pities Trifley. I think we have all discovered some heart wrenching stories in our family histories, and your stories, so eloquently expressed, have prompted us all to stop and reflect on the sadness and sacrifices that have touched the lives of our ancestors. Remembering all the mothers throughout history who have had to bury their new born babies, their toddlers - any of their children - in a world that was so much more difficult than the privileged world in which you and I live today.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mums miserable day in Melb will just have to stay inside and read and play on puta...lol well it is mothers day Thanks for the miners site Joodles, will be looking that one up, my ggfather was a mine manager. Hi Julie we did miss you and Rebs as well. Bad luck with the lotto but on Joodles reconing we should be big winners in about4 weeks time, fingers crossed. Tony & Lara...well what can I say....????? Lew, we love scandel.... Jude2

Morning Wattlers,Mothers, Grandmothers, Step-Mothers. Happy Mothers Day.....:>)) Off to visit my Mum today, and then up to my eldest girls home for Tea to-night. On Mothers Day, my girls get to-gether at one of their homes and make Casserols and cakes and stuff. They look upon Barb as a kinda Step Mum, and buy her flowers and small gifts, just to say thanks for her help and advice during the year. Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom? 'Because I'm a woman,' she told him. 'I don't understand,' he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, 'And you never will, but that's O.K.'....... Later the little boy asked his father, 'Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?'. 'All women cry for no reason,' was all his Dad could say...... The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him, he asked 'God, why do women cry so easily?' GOD answered...... 'When I made woman, I decided she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet, made her arms gentle enough to give comfort... I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come even from her own children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue without complaining.... I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly.... She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.... I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.... I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.... For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and ! it is her only weakness.... When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good. Av a good un. Tony Oz....:>))
