They really do sacrifice a lot, and I don't think we really appreciate it until we become mothers ourselves (or even just adults, aunts, pseudo-aunts, etc).

My YA book got accepted for publication yesterday and I've been aching with missing her. She'd be so proud and excited (and even validated). <br /><br />Happy birthday to each of you and please hug each other from me. :)Alina Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499769990637055382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-78094234283231917382010-12-21T09:58:24.889-08:002010-12-21T09:58:24.889-08:00I only met your mom once but I'll never forget...I only met your mom once but I'll never forget how warm and charming she is.

But now I'm older and I love that she leans on me for support from time to time. I feel more like her best friend than daughter, but I'm lucky to be both :)Jessica Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405267450788581689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-63397174146734319282010-12-20T16:58:09.323-08:002010-12-20T16:58:09.323-08:00This is sweet.

I didn't have the option of picking the day he was born, but I would have loved to share my birthday with him, too. (As it is, we're only four days apart.)<br /><br />I hope that when he's an adult, he'll think of me the way you think of your mom.Touch of Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551995840395409781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-28587608295802926422010-12-20T12:04:54.733-08:002010-12-20T12:04:54.733-08:00It's funny when life turns around and we see o...It's funny when life turns around and we see our mothers as people who gave up so much for us to be happy. My mother passed away a few years ago. I miss her every day and wish I'd had more time to tell her how grateful I was for all she'd done for me.<br /><br />Your mother sounds wonderful.
