Lyrics rang so true. I remember the total exhaustion after delivering my babies, the weakness in my arms that were shaking so badly, I was concerned about dropping my newborns. My husband held our babies close to me, so I could see them. Only later in the day, could I cuddle and feel the joy that I had so looked forward to experiencing. My own mother was not wired for motherhood, just a woman who felt pressured to have children. Her anger and frustration interfered with her expression of love and caring toward her children. The care, comfort, and obvious love I shared with my own children was given freely and joyously in part based on what had been missing in my childhood. An extended joy comes from watching my grown children parent with love, compassion, and responsibility.
Isn't Brandi just the best! She's a role model for gay, straight, trans, and even Republicans; but they will never comprehend what it's like to be the mother of Evangeline. Thanks for sharing her with us.
On Thanksgiving I met my second great-grandson, soon to be one year old. Wonderful to see how much his mother and father love him—and I do too! Thank you, Dan and Elliot. for sending this sweet video about mother love.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you again Dan
Every word is true to me even at 85 with 3 adult children
Gifts without words to express such love.
Is there anything special about your Mother that you would like to share?
I loved this. And last week's film. Both beautiful in their own way. Thank you!
Love, love. Thank you for everything, but especially these Saturday Smiles.

I did smile and flashed back to 1969 and 1973 when I began learning a Mother's Song.

Beautiful. Lord, may I choose my priorities well.
So beautiful! She captured so many aspects of parenthood, in a poignant and lovely song. Thank you for the happy tears!
Beautiful! Thank you!
People fighting to love is a joy to see and a tragedy that they have to fight at all.
Thank you for the Saturday smile…
