Trustee in Bankruptcy us • Numbers Deuteronomy Joshua Judges Ruth mother can be at one and the same time, both “lovelorn counselor” to a heartsick daughter, and “head football coach” to an athletic son. A mother is the only creature on earth who can cry when she’s happy, laugh when she’s heartbroken, and work when she’s feeling ill. A mother is a picture of helplessness when Dad is near, and a marvel of resourcefulness when she’s all alone.

A mother has the fascinating ability to be almost everywhere at once and she alone can somehow squeeze an enormous amount of living into an average day. A mother is “old fashioned” to her teenager; just “mom” to her third grader; and simply “Mama” to little two year old sister. But there is no greater thrill in life, than to point to the wonderful woman and be able to say to all the world, “That’s my mother!”
