A Thousand Thanks Mother's Day brings to mind
The thousands of things you did for me
that helped make me happier,
stronger and wiser,
because I had you as a role model. I'm grateful for all the times
you healed my hurts
and calmed my fears,
so that I could face the world
feeling safe and secure. I'm thankful for all you showed me
about how to love and give--
lessons that now bring
so many blessings to me
each and every day. Your sacrifices and unselfishness
did not go unnoticed, Mom.
I admire you, I respect you,
I love you.
And I'm so glad you're my mother! Happy Mother's Day!  By Joanna Fuchs
