Mother's Day Quotations

 This is my Mom at different stages of my life, and with my children when they were young. 

My Mom passed away a year before we moved to Colorado, and I miss her daily.  I was fortunate to live close to my childhood home for most of my life so we often spent time together and she was able to attend so many of her grandchildren's events. Now that I am a grandmother I am doing the same with my grandchildren.  It is a blessing I never take for granted!

Here is a collection of  Mother's Day quotes that help sum up today perfectly:

This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood – finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without. ~ Jodi Picoult

Mother is a verb. It’s something you do. Not just who you are.
~ Dorothy Canfield Fisher

As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you.

~ Isaiah 66:13

 
The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness.

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. ~ Abraham Lincoln

A mother is the truest friend we have. ~ Washington Irving

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.  ~ Rajneesh

Being a mother means having my heart permanently stitched to my sleeve, out there and vulnerable and afraid, yet somehow finding such fulfillment and hope that I’m able to appreciate the extraordinary journey. Though it is maddening, and terrifying at times, it is also glorious and beautiful; and the most absurd part is that I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. ~ Stephanie Jankowski

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~ Sophia Loren

Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It’s huge and scary—it’s an act of infinite optimism.
~ Gilda Radner

The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlid here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter. ~ Louisa May Alcott
