Went to see the NAVY band last nite in Rochester NY at Lake Ontario Park  They were playing as part of NAVY Week  What a great time!   It made me so proud to see those great white uniforms in the crowd.  Something we dont get to see a lot of here in Upstate NY.  Talked with several of the sailors and they sounded like they were having a great time here   Made me even prouder (if that could be) to be a NAVY Mom!    Today watching the skies for a glimpse of the Blue Angels as they practice for this weekends show

When my son was in kindergarten, the school sent this poem home in their May monthly newsletter.   Ive kept it pinned to my bulletin board at work ever since.   My son is now 21 and in the US NAVY.  I was scanning it to send it to my niece who is celebrating her first Mother’s Day and thought I needed to make a little revision to it.   You’ll see my revision at the end.  Happy Mother’s Day everyone

 

For All Mothers

This is for all the mothers who froze their buns off on metal bleachers at soccer games instead of watching from cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see my goal?" They could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it.

This is for all the mothers who have sat up all night with sick children in their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Meyer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here."

This is for all the mothers who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying babies who can't be comforted.

This is for all the mothers of Kosovo who fled in the night and can't find their children.

This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see and for the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes.

For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween costumes  and for all the mothers who don't.

What makes a good mother anyway?  Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips?

The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time?

Or is it heart?

I think so.

 Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?

The jolt that takes you from sleeping to dread, from bed to crib at 2 a.m. to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?

The panic, years later, that comes again at 2 A.M. when you just want to hear their key in the door and know they are safe again in your home?

Or the need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you hear news of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?

I think so.

The emotions of motherhood are universal and so our thoughts are for young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation...
And mature mothers learning to let go.


So this is for all the mothers  who sat down with their children and explained all about making babies. And for all the mothers who wanted to but just couldn't.

This is for reading "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year.  And then reading it again, "Just one more time".

This is for all the mothers who mess up. Who yell at their kids in grocery store and swat them in despair and stomp their feet like a tired two year old  who wants ice cream before dinner.

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their shoelaces before they started to school and for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead.

For all the mothers who bite their lips (sometimes until they bleed) when their 14 year olds dyed their hair green.

This is for all the mothers who lock themselves in the bathroom when babies keep crying and won't stop.

This is for all mothers who show at work with spit-up in their hair and milkstains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.

This is for mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot.

This is for all mothers whose heads turn automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at home or are grown.

This is for mothers who put pinwheels and teddy bears on their children's graves.

This is for all the mothers whose children have gone astray and who can't find words to reach them.

This is for all the mothers who sent their child to school with a stomach ache, assuring that they would be just FINE once they got there, only to get a call from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up right away.

For working moms and stay-at-home moms.  Single mothers and married mothers.

Mothers with money and mothers without.

This is for all the mothers who taught their children to be peaceful, and now pray they come home safely from a war.

Tell them every day that we love them. And pray.

This is for you, so hang in there. The world would be a terrible place without the love of mothers everywhere.  You make it a more civil, caring and safe place for the precious children in our world.


"Home is what catches you when you fall - and we all fall."

As I read this, I knew I needed to add this paragraph below for us!

 

This is for all the mothers who first heard the words “Mom I want to join the military” and didn’t lock their child in their bedroom for the next 40 years.   Who lite those candles when their child was going through their final test of bootcamp.  For those Moms who kept their phone glued to their side, even when in the bathroom so that they won’t miss THAT call.   For all those Moms who gave up a weekend with friends to create that care package not only for her child but for all his buddies who aren’t getting any care packages.  For all those Moms who celebrated too many birthdays, Mother’s Days, Easter, 4^th of July, Christmas without their children, praying that their sons and daughter were safe, and warm and hopefully had a nice meal.  This is for all the NAVY, ARMY, AIR FORCE, MARINE and COAST GUARD Moms.
