transformations: a never ending love


Is there any greater love than that of a mother for her children?
daughter Cary (on right) age 4 with her BFF Ashley
It is a love that is never ending and a love that changes us forever in ways that we never could have imagined.
daughter Katy approx. age 6 with our beloved dog Cowboy
So today I have written something to my own daughters with the thought that it is for every daughter from every mother. 



Is there any greater transformation?

    A beautiful post. I am so glad that I have a daughter. There is a special bond between mother and daughter. I also have three sons.

    I don't have daughters but did raise two granddaughters whom I feel like are my daughters. There is a love that is so strong. Same with my son. I also think Moms and sons have special bonds that never go away - whether they are near or far, young or old - he'll always be my little boy!

    Nice post.

      I didn't have any sons, Judy, but I am sure there is a wonderful bond there, too. I know that I adore my grandson. :)

      And the greatest thing is that you are passing the love onto your children and they will pass it on to their's :)

    Lovely Laura. Every first day of school, I would spray some of my perfume on the girls' wrist and told them I always think about them.

      I think, Susie when our children are young we tuck them in at night with an I love you, and when they are grown and no longer living with us we still whisper the I love you. xo
