From Denny: It's one thing to believe good things for your children's futures; it's quite another to have captured this large vision like Rose Kennedy did. Surely, her vision was highly unusual, containing infinite possibilities.

What I like best about Rose's thoughtful quote here is she thought beyond just how her children would do in the world. She carefully considered how her children would impact the souls around them.

Happy Mother's Day!


Quote

* Whenever I held my newborn baby in my arms, I used to think that what I said and did to him could have an influence not only on him but on all whom he met, not only for a day or a month or a year, but for all eternity - a very challenging and exciting thought for a mother. - Rose Kennedy

From Denny: Just in time to celebrate Mothers Day! This is a special quote about the stages of our lives in relationship to a person who figures prominently in our lives, for better or for worse: Mother.

When you were a child did you ever notice that your parents were growing up with you? That was a pretty astonishing observation that practically knocked me over when it struck my mind for a new awareness. I was three years old.

I soon realized that childhood was not all it was promised to be. From then on I started parenting my parents when they were so stressed they couldn't make decisions and move forward to resolve the situations. If my parents' friends and bosses only knew... :) Who said mothering only applied in the traditional sense?





The Stages Of Motherhood


4 Years Of Age - My Mommy can do anything
8 Years Of Age - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot
12 Years Of Age - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything
14 Years Of Age - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that either
16 Years Of Age - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned
18 Years Of Age - That old woman? She's way out of date
25 Years Of Age - Well, she might know a little bit about it
35 Years Of Age - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion
45 Years Of Age - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it
65 Years Of Age - Wish I could talk it over with Mom...
