Grown don't mean nothing to a mother.  A child is a child.  They get bigger, older, but grown?  What's that suppose to mean?  In my heart it don't mean a thing. 

 ~Toni Morrison, Beloved, 1987

"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother."
-- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."
-- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

“No influence is so powerful as that of the mother.”
-Sarah Josepha Hale

“Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.” -Marion C. Garretty

"Motherhood is the greatest potential influence in human society. Her caress first awakens in the child a sense of security; her kiss the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world. Thus in infancy and childhood she implants ever-directing and restraining influences that remain through life."
- David 0. McKay

Always be nice to your children for they are the ones that will choose your rest home.

Phyllis Diller

Have a great Mother's Day!
