SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY 2013

HER HANDS FOR MOM Her hands held me gently from the day I took my first breath. Her hands helped to guide me as I took my first step. Her hands held me close when the tears would start to fall. Her hands were quick to show me that she would take care of it all. Her hands were there to help me pick out my clothes and to put on my shoes. Her hands were often there to comfort the hurts that didn't always show. Her hands helped hold the stars in place, and encouraged me to reach. Her hands would clap and cheer and praise when I captured them at length. Her hands would also push me, though not down or in harms way. Her hands would punctuate the words, just do what I say. Her hands sometimes had to discipline, to help bend this young tree. Her hands would shape and mold me into all she knew I could be.

MOM 2016

Hi Mom, Your card was very touching.  We always love receiving your cards, as they are always so special. Amazing about the old/new #.  Too bad Jim had to threaten them, but that's the way it usually goes. Let's talk soon. Love Mike Hi Michael, Glad you got your cards and not too too late!  Yes, I received your card last week.  Very nice, thank you.  We are finally settling in and feeling at home.  We now have Wifi and TV.  Of course, they had to mess up one thing - they assigned us a new phone no., when we specifically asked for our old one.  The technicians couldn't change it, but Jim called our provider and practically threatened to go to a different provider if they didn't give us our old no. back and, lo and behold, it worked.  We should have our old no. back tomorrow, Saturday. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love, Mom Hi Mom, I got your card today, as did Carol. I am going to open it with my gradwe 1 students at 1pm....

  I THINK MY MOM USED EVERY ONE! 25 REASONS WE OWE OUR MOTHERS  1. Mother taught us TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE .   "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning."     2. Mother taught us RELIGION.   "You better pray that will come out of the carpet."     3. Mother taught us about TIME TRAVEL .   " If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of     next week!"     4. Mother taught us LOGIC.   " Because I said so, that's why."     5. Mother taught us MORE LOGIC.   "If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to     the store with me.."     6. Mother taught us FORESIGHT.   "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."     7. Mother taught us IRONY   "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."     8.
