There is no work that can compare to motherhood :) My reality check happened when my daughter was 4 years old and we found out that she had leukemia and a deadly fungal infection, I looked at her small frail body fighting for life, and all I could ask myself was, "Have I been everything that she needed me to be?" She and my other 4 children were the VERY MOST IMPORTANT things in my husband's and my life. Nothing can compare to the joy that comes from motherhood! And sometimes nothing can be harder.....When you truly dedicate yourself to a NOBEL cause!Latterdaycraftersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-60054467593001469712012-04-12T20:15:43.981-04:002012-04-12T20:15:43.981-04:00The greatsest and fondest memories of my childhood...The greatsest and fondest memories of my childhood was playing house tea set, my Barbies and my Tumberlina doll (she was my favorite doll and when you wind her she moved like a real baby)...I miss her the most.

...(and she is wearing an apron just like Mommy!...)<br /><br />I think that the world needs more children who were loved, who are secure in themselves, and who are leaders. No matter if they are raising the future generation (by being mothers and fathers) or leading us all, we need them.<br /><br />What a wonderful blessing being mothers to these precious children is.J Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-55700958639295653862012-04-12T14:29:55.286-04:002012-04-12T14:29:55.286-04:00You are so wise to soak up each and every moment! ...You are so wise to soak up each and every moment! I remember times with my youngest son...youngest of 6...before he went off to kindergarten. He is now at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, and in 3 1/2 week will be off to South Korea to teach the people he has grown to love. All those years... pumpkin reports, class parties, trumpet lessons, football games...went by in a flash! Scarlett looks just like Elder Rice did...so many years ago.
