God couldn't be everywhere so He created mothers.
Dieu ne pourvait etre partout alors il a cree la mere.
A mother's affection is always new.
Tendresse maternelle toujours se renouvelle.
The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.
La main qui berce l'enfant est la main qui domine le monde.
To a child's ear, "mother" is magic in any language.
A l'oreille de tours les enfants, "maman" est un mot magique.
The future of a child is the work of his mother.
L'avenir d'un enfant est l'oeuvre de sa mere.
A great mother always makes an exceptional grandmother.
Une maman formidable donne toujours une grandmere exceptionnelle.
Happy Mother's Day to you who mother in any way. To those who adore and take care of children, neighbors, friends, and animals, we thank you. We adore you. And we beg you not to dye your hair cotton candy pink. Wishing you all a wonderful day spent with those you love.
How can I even tell you how this just cracked me up. Here I am just reading along, reading all of the beautiful sentiments about mothers and them "BAM"!
Happy Mother's Day, Karen.

PS- The resemblance between you and you mom is uncanny!

What a fun post, Karen. And WHY can't we dye our hair pink or purple later? I'm kinda looking forward to being so old that I can just do that and not care what my kids say!:)
