there is nothing like it

time moves so quickly...


taken a few days after Daniel's birth April 2011


i may be busy

i may be stressed at times

i may have a mess to clean up or a mess to make


there is nothing else in this world that I would rather be than a mother to our six children


and though there is so much more i can do to improve myself and the way i mother,
they forgive me
they don't know what more i want to do


they love me

I love them more than I possibly can express

more than words
more than flowers


but I know He loves them more than I do now...or ever will

i know He loves me the same way

and He loves you too


more than you know
more than i know

no one has ever been able to express His love

except through His Mother


there is nothing like it




a very blessed day i pray you have...
with many blessings from my heart and soul to all mothers,

  8. Oh Anne Marie,
    I'm reading this today, Monday Morning and almost broke down and cry.
    I had a very difficult day with my baby yesterday...he was so so capricious, he was so tired but did not want to sleep and continued to cry and cry for hours.... I could not manage to change his diapers too...can you believe me?
    I think he's angry with me (!!) because I work all day now and I'm home with him just at noon and then in the evening and during weekends of course.
    I love my baby, I'm so so happy and proud of beeing his moma. That's unquestionable, I LOVE HIM. But, sometimes it is really hard. And I had the carpenter at home that placed our new wardrobe (finally,we have one!)so you can imagine the mess! And while thinking and writing this I am so sorry and feel so horrible. I perfectly know I am blessed, I have a wonderful child! Come on Fra, what are you complaining for? That's life! I just wanted to let you know...is it never hard for you Anne Marie?? Of course it is! Of course, but you have such a wonderful way of seeing life and accepting everything.And this morning before I left home for work Giovanni was so adorable... poor little boy!
    I hope you had a wonderful Mother's day and thank you for reading all of this!
    Fra

  9. Thank you. Beautiful post. I love being a mother and now a grandmother. My life could not be more complete. I still enjoy looking into the faces of my now grown children and then seeing them again in the faces of their children It doesn't get any better
