Before it's too late...

A man stopped at a flower shop for ordering some flowers to be sent as a gift to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."

The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."

She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave. The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the gifting order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.

At times we take many such relationships with our family and friends for granted. Learn to value them.

This was one of the useful forwards I got in recent times! What a powerful
message!

A 'mother'ly blog

The mothers of this world are just amazing. No ordinary words can describe them and even the best known psychometric tools in the world cannot assess them when it comes to the way they love their babies. Of course, even trying to write about it would be a futile exercise as enough has been written and sung already in every possible dialect.

This blog might just be the only one of its kind, where a working mother talks about office, daily routine including the sweet simple nothings, what the baby did, what it enjoyed, how and where it slept, the books the mother read, the little noises the baby made, the movies they went to and even describes the shopping and outings.

The beauty of it all is that the narration is addressed to the baby! What a moving narration! The baby is truly blessed as now there is a daily journal in mother's own sweet words.I didn't dare to leave a comment there as I felt it would be a rude intrusion into the serene world of the mother and the baby. It suddenly appeared as if it's not just a blog but another fantasy world of its own, truly alive with the love and affection of the mother.

God could not be everywhere,and therefore he made mothers.-- Jewish proverb

A mother is she who can takethe place of all others but whose place no one else can take.--
CardinalMermillod

Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not.--
JamesJoyce
