A mother like that...


After bumbling through two years of motherhood, today I reflect on what kind of mother I want, and need, to be.

I tried to put it into words, and sort of did, but I just kept coming up with faces, people, instead.

So, here it is.  When I grow up, this is the kind of mother I want to be:



Solid.  100%.




Fun!

A master at the balancing act.




Selfless and giving.  To the very core.   



Con un gran "corazon de madre."



Patient.  So very patient.



A caramel-making, world-class garden-keeping, cozy-little-home-making... GREAT grandma.



83 going on 30.  A brilliant, no-nonsense, pure-hearted pillar of a woman.



A true "natural"...  who simply makes it all happen.




All of the above.  And even more.



So, I want to wish a VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to this little collection of the very best moms I know.


And especially:

To the proverbial wind beneath my, 
and everyone's really, wings...  

To the one who holds me together... still...

To my wonderful, Liza-Hamilton, behind-the-scenes, give-whatever-it-takes-and-more mother...

To my best friend...

I love you, Mom!

I feel honored to be listed with such great moms. I also LOVE that little foot of Geneva's sticking out of the eye of the whale arch sign.

Hurray for Moms!
