A Bundle of Myrrh

Mother’s Day

May 13th, 2012 by Aubri

 

Me and my beautiful Mama circa…a long time ago.

I recently talked with my mom on the phone and began thanking her for all the unpleasant things she did for me while raising me. We laughed about it, but really I thank you Mama! Thank you for all the necessary but unpleasant things that go unnoticed and “unthanked”. Thankless until I became the mama and began doing them for my little ones. I love you!

And two other beautiful mamas I think about today.

My mama’s mama, Muriel, “Sissy”, Grandma, mother of 11 babies, pictured here with one of my aunties.

And Dad’s mama, Edna, “Mimi”, mother of 5 boys, here with my Dad!

Happy Mother’s Day!

“He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.”

Isaiah 40:11

    Such pretty grandmas with their babies! That’s aunt Jan with Grandma Sissy, she is the one Clara resembles! Thank you for the Mother’s Day wishes! 🙂

    Such beautiful ladies with their babies. I love how everyone used to look so fancy. I don’t think I could look like that if I tried!

    Thank you Leah!

    Grandmere – I always think of Clara when I see baby Jan, but I’m seeing Esther there too!

    Brianne – I know! A collared shirt and my hair clipped back! Oh, the good old days.
