Descendants Are A Parents Best Gift

Hello Hope everyone had a great productive day today I know I did. I totally rocked today, Cleaned up a room and redocorated it to a more condusive work enviroment. It is almost done and is beautiful if I must say so. Very Zen and inspirational.

While cleaning I came across something that really struck my emotions, I wrote this to my mother 10 years ago. I was impressed that 10 years ago I was inspiring others indeed. Including myself. Funny how when we clean up the clutter we are inspired in many ways. I will put this in my new space. Matt it and frame it.

This should touch the hearts of many mothers out there, as it did my mother when I gave it to her.


Descendents Are A Parents Best Gift

To My Wonderful Mother,

How do I say thank you for all the love and caring over the years?

How do I repay all the nights you stayed up when I was sick, and all the floors you walked when I was late coming home?

What can I give you for all the times you supported me in my triumphs and provided a shoulder when there were losses?

What present is there for all the times we just sat together and shared our warmth?

How do I thank you for the guidence when I was unsure of my way, and your restraint to allow me to find myself?

You nurtured my growth, yet allowed me my independence. How can I measure the worth of your love? What gift is enough?

The answer came to me today, No box can hold it, no wrapping can cover it, nor can a ribbon tie it. No store has it on a shelf.

My gift is not to you, it is to my child. I promise to care for him when he is sick, and walk the floors when he is late. I will help him grow, yet let him choose his path. I'll be there when he needs me, and step aside when he must go alone. And someday, maybe, he will come to me and say, "How can I thank you for all you have done for me?"

I will tell him don't thank me, thank my mother for I am a product of her love, and you are my greatest gift to her.

Love
Patricia
