~* Gift Them Love *~

Gift your children with
education and advice.
Encourage their growth,
but most of all gift them love.
It is LOVE they remember.

Tanka you all!     I loved that picture, doesn't it say it all?   Read to them, they will remember that too (especially Dr. Suess).  I can still recite what I read to my son, and he in turn to his daughter.

Sharon -- You are an extremely wise woman with wonderful advice. There is no greater gift than to love and be loved.

I love the picture -- Hugs, Marti

sigh...I just read this after hollering "SHUT THE DOOR!"

and I do love him...and he loves me,
we just HATE each others music!

sigh...

I'd go hug him, but his buddy is in there too--and that's a BIG no-no!

so...I guess that restraint will have to be my "gift of love" fer now--

(not to worry, tho sharon? I know sneak maneuvers and wrastling moves! )

Sharon,
You have shared so succinctly the memories of my parenting days. Awesome and bless you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I laugh at you Moms as I have been there and done the teenage years and am heading for round two (if I make it) with the grandkids now.  I can honestly say it was all worth it and more as I am richer beyond wealth with love of family.

I thank you all of you for kind and every generous replies, and have a great weekend!

Sweet Lyra how nice to see you pop out for some acorns today, and if I hadn't spent it all on ebay this week I would call you - and will next week for sure!  Thanks sweetie.
