All women could benefit from reading it.<br /><br />"I adore and admire women so."<br /><br />I've known this about you and it attests to the man you are. Honorable, respectful and a true gentleman. Rare today. But it's how your mom raised you. So it attests to the woman she was. Not just beautiful on the outside, but the inside, as well. A true steel magnolia. <br /><br />I have to tell you that Magnolia's are my favorite flowers. I never gave it much thought until your post. But maybe it's because of their beauty and resiliency. <br /><br />Thank you for the post on this Mother's Day.

I do agree with a woman being strong, we deal with a lot more than the opposite sex, not to make light of their role, but the woman perhaps because our make up are a lot of things to many people: the cook, the nurse, the psychiatrist, etc. the right woman can hold together an entire family, that's strength!Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-68525917299211585862013-05-11T09:57:53.850-04:002013-05-11T09:57:53.850-04:00Hiya Mel!

But as I was putting this post together, I felt my mother closely with me - almost like a blanket of loving comfort.<br /><br />". And it's amazing to see more of ME in her than I sometimes like. LOL Oh, but she's an amazing mom to the Bug. And an amazing woman, all things told. Very proud of that one--she's done herself proud!:<br /><br />SMILING while I read that :)<br /><br />Steel Magnolias is a classic! One that I never tired of watching because it's both moving AND humorous!<br /><br />" I'll placate myself with a 'walk' in the community gardens and just BE for a bit. IF they're not flooded. LOL Ah yes.....springtime in the great midwest!"<br /><br />HA! Yes, we're getting some rain here as well. Hey, a walk in the community gardens sounds wonderful! I will be doing the same tomorrow, spending some quiet time in the park; feeding my friends, the squirrels!<br /><br />"Call your brother and laugh over some of the silly things the two of you used to pull. I know it'll do your heart good--and I know mom'll be laughing right along with ya."<br /><br />You're reading my mind because that's exactly what I planned on doing.<br /><br />Thanks oodles for stopping by, dear lady.

I'll have to make a trip and find something for the girl's garden....a pretty hanging basket maybe? *sigh* I suck at remembering stuff lately!<br /><br /><br />I don't think I've ever been 'soft' on the outside--but I've watched the transformation in the girl since becoming a mom. And it's amazing to see more of ME in her than I sometimes like. LOL Oh, but she's an amazing mom to the Bug. And an amazing woman, all things told. Very proud of that one--she's done herself proud!<br /><br /><br />It's been a while since I watched Steel Magnolias.

Being a mother (or a father) has to do with love, not genetics. My mother and I always felt as though we knew each other in a past life because it's like we always felt related, regardless of whether we were blood related in this life or not.<br /><br />Thank you, that's my favorite photo of her. She was in her 20's when that photo was taken. She looked like a movie star!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, buddy, and for your sweet words.

And although I know she was not you biological mother, you and she had a very close bond. Which only goes to show that being a mother really doesn't have anything to do with blood, but rather HEART.<br /><br /><br />I love that portrait of her.
