Smiling all Week

I picked up this book to pass time while in a long check-out line last week and then ended up buying it. It made me smile all week -- at the good moments with my sons and the not-so-good. I plan to read it again when I need a reminder of what's important in parenting . . . and in life.

so emotional...

I was given thsi book as a gift and I just treasure it. I don't think there is any other way to express your love, worries and concern, admiration and pride of your kids than reading those lovely poems. Each has its own message and feelings, simply written, with kids' quotations and words depicting your regular mornings, their baseball practices, their rivalry. Your own desperation, aspirations, and hopefulness. A mother's heart full of love and sacrifice!

A good read. Something you'd tell your own sons.

I've written letters to my Sons, who are grown and away from home, and this book said it like I have. From the time they are born, the joy and laughter and sometimes bittersweet memories carry us Mothers through. I recommend this as a must read.
