I DO love the fuzziness I feel when your words tweek my nourishing instincts. Southerners know the depth of love is fathomless...especially that of parents and child.
Love... your redneck southern lady!

Douglas, a beautiful write so true...Before we realize it...they are gone in the blink of an eye...to someday experience exactly as the heart does who wrote this poem...the beautiful memories we come to miss so much.

9 grandchildren I have, and one great grandchild on the way. I have been waiting for this 3 years now, but it does seem a long while, it is only a dream away. I am to be greatgrandma in April or end March and now will be like my friends.

As a mother, I know how this feels. There are many wonderful things that I miss, but then, instead of missing them, I feel lucky for all the memories. And I look at her, growing stronger, becoming more independent, radiant and I'm proud of her, proud of us.

Well... grandchildren... that I don't know yet!

Lovely little strophe:
"Every birth
A gift
A miracle."

"Enjoy, Every minute, As if it might be your last, They grow up so fast..." how right you are with this wonderful composition Douglas. In wonderfully concise terms you have just conveyed all I feel and all I perceive as a mother...beautiful! Thank you. Panda :)
