Dearest Pauline,

You were right - I haven`t seen the notification for this amazing thread.

HOW BEAUTIFUL POEM PAULINE!

I really do believe that mothers are a true wonders. Being mother means : being a lifetime student. And not only in human being`s world. I watched a many times at an animal mother`s behavior.

A true and meaningful wonder !

I wish to you Pauline, and to all wonderful mothers from ALP community a very happy MOTHER`S DAY!

They DO get too big too fast!  Then they do think we're very old!!  My youngest was trying to tell me he was sneaking IN late when he was really sneaking OUT late on a school night.  Mothers know the difference in the demeanor of coming home or leaving, why don't they know we know?!  Ha!

       HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU!!  I wish they could all stay this little:
