They have taught me so many things, as well as I have taught them. Our bond in life is forever. I think the biggest thing in life, no matter how old your kids get, you need to tell them that you love them, every chance you get. This will make a future as their mother, a big rewarding success. Everyone will be more loving in their hearts. Building a bond that lasts a lifetime. It doesn't get any better than that. I am so grateful, that I got to experience childhood twice in my life. Happy Mother's Day to all of the great mother's of the world. You should take such great pride and honor in being a mother. It is the most rewarding gift one can receive.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8010918693758511304/1247625605099849214/comments/default/2628290812415811360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8010918693758511304/1247625605099849214/comments/default/2628290812415811360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.extravagantgrace.net/2008/04/mothers-day-giveaway.html?showComment=1208058780000#c2628290812415811360' title=''/><author><name>RoyalCheryl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10202735244673143882</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.extravagantgrace.net/2008/04/mothers-day-giveaway.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010918693758511304.post-1247625605099849214' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8010918693758511304/posts/default/1247625605099849214' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010918693758511304.post-544241346634276159</id><published>2008-04-12T19:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-12T19:44:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I love being a mom.
