Happy Mother's Day!

Here are some great quotes for the mommies in our lives!

A suburban mother's role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after.  ~Peter De Vries

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  She never existed before.  The woman existed, but the mother, never.  A mother is something absolutely new.  ~Rajneesh 

Sweater, n.:  garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly.  ~Ambrose Bierce

Grown don't mean nothing to a mother.  A child is a child.  They get bigger, older, but grown?  What's that suppose to mean?  In my heart it don't mean a thing.  ~Toni Morrison, Beloved, 1987

A little girl, asked where her home was, replied, "where mother is."  ~Keith L. Brooks

Women who miscalculate are called mothers.  ~Abigail Van Buren

Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning tears of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore, by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me.
~Edgar Allan Poe


And the one I think is most fitting:
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.  ~Oprah Winfrey
