Guest guest Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hello Bee. Thank you for the Mother's Day wish. So, thankful that you have had your mother this long. What a blessing! I am trying to change my dear mother's terrible eating habits ( to Bee's diet) so she will enjoy a more healthier lifestyle with length of years.  I know your daughters and grandchildren must be so proud to have you in their lives. Thank you so much for the nuturing heart you have to help so many and I hope you also have a beautiful and blessed Mother' Day. Warm wishes, Janet ________________________________ From: Bee <beeisbuzzing2003@...> Sent: Sun, May 8, 2011 8:07:00 AM Subject: [ ] Happy Mother's Day!  Hi everyone, I wish all of you wonderful Mothers a very happy Mother's Day! I consider myself lucky to have my Mother for almost 70 years. She will be 90 years old in June. Raising my two wonderful girls was one of the most rewarding and happy things I've done in life. They are both beautiful, accomplished, and loving women who I would admire even if they weren't mine!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks, Ellen. The affirmation from other mothers over the years has meant a lot. Humor has helped me a lot, too. I remember when my son was younger and some of his behaviors were noticeably different. Another " special " parent suggested a T-shirt for us parents that read " I AM a good parent. It's just his ADHD...(or whatever). " Never printed, of course. But the laughter and mutual support mean so much.
