Mother of mine





 My mum.


Who wakes before dawn to put breakfast on the table.
The one who shares cherished memories of long ago.
Our holiday cheer when there's bored groans filling the air.
The planner of memorable excursions.
An animated narrator of the classics after dark.
My optimist when the world is ending.
The slender, warm embrace where words just aren't enough.

Happy birthday mother of mine :)

  2. Dearest Jess,

    Your AMAZING mother WAKES BEFORE DAWN to put breakfast on the table?????
    Oh now come on Amanda....you are raising the bar a little too high for us mere mortals don't you think??
    No, you truly ARE amazing an inspiration to us all.

    God Bless you Beautiful Jess, for honouring your incredible Mother.

    Love Anna (Mama Bear)

  3. I think she just means that I have done it maybe once in my mothering career - or maybe she is thinking of the times I have been up early feeding a baby...

    Who knows!

    I'll take credit for anything nice Jess says about me. ;)
