My excellent daughters feted me last night. The best gift I received was a comment about how the mistakes of early motherhood are forgiven as we all continue to grow and expand in wisdom, patience and love. Thank goodness for that as I was a too-young stressed out single mother who was frustrated and overwhelmed much of the time. My gift to young mothers is this: do your best, forgive your errors, make sure you hug them every day and tell them you love them a lot. You won't be perfect but you'll likely be good enough. And Happy Mother's Day.

Happy Mom's Day to you from me.
This is beautiful...both you and the words of wisdom. Forgiving the errors in ourselves is such a battle...whether they occur as mothers or just mother you know whats... :-} I adore you, but you know that.
