A Mother Is..

My friend Loukia from LouLou's Views is having a faaabulous giveaway on her site.  Enter by writing your own "A Mother Is..." post!  She always has amazing reads, you should get her site out!

A Mother is...

A Librarian, teaching her children not only to read, but to love literature.

An Outdoor Enthusiast, introducing her children to butterflies, trees, flowers, and nature.

A Store Cashier, handing out 50 cents to her children for a small treat, that seems like a mountain of candy.

A Cheerleader, leading the audience and spectators in cheering on her children's teams.

A Referee, calling out fouls, penalties, and fair plays between her children.

A Guidence Counsellor, helping her children find their paths in life.

A Musician, tapping away on pots & pans to make fabulous music that only a Mother could love.

A Dreamcatcher, trapping the bad dreams in her children's bedrooms.

A Nurse, pressing her lips to her children's foreheads to feel for a fever.

A Gourmet Chef, creating amazing and healthy meals for her children, to provide proper nutrients.

A Bodyguard, standing in the way of danger, taking a bullet for her children.

An Angel, watching over her children, with the light of life shining through her heart.

I may not be a Mother yet, but someday, I hope that I can live up to everything my Mom is.  Fabulous.  Wonderful. Passionate.

Happy Mother's Day, to my Mom.  You truly are an inspiration.
