To Magan...who bore our first grandchild,
who promptly had her life turned upside-down
by a baby who didn't seem to need sleep,
and through it all mothered with love and devotion
and has emerged a confident mother of two.
To Juanita...for whom pregnancy meant extreme illness,
weight loss and hospitalization,
yet has counted motherhood worth the cost
and has mothered with ease, practicality and humour.
To Jessica...whose longing for motherhood set her on a long,
heart-wrenching and terrible path,
yet has endured until she was called "mama",
and this year for the first time we can say, "Happy Mother's Day"!
We love you all and are thankful that God gave us daughters-in-law who value motherhood
and who love our sons and grandchildren.
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Love,
Mom
