Mothers and Others

For Mothers
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby….
Somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a Mother, ‘normal’ is history.

Somebody said you can’t love the second child as much as you love the first….
Somebody doesn’t have two or more children.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a Mother is labor and delivery….
Somebody never watched her ‘baby’ get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten…
Or on a plane headed for military boot camp.

Somebody said a Mother can stop worrying after her child gets married….
Somebody doesn’t know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a Mother’s heartstrings.

Somebody said a Mother’s job is done when her last child leaves home….
Somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your Mother knows you love her, so you don’t need to tell her….
Somebody isn’t a Mother.
