Quotes ABOUT Mom and FROM Mom
Happy Mother’s Day from Hummingbird!
Few people influence our lives more than our mothers. Truly, their wisdom, idiosyncrasies, strengths and yes, even flaws sometimes, become a legacy passed and propagated--just like red maple saplings all around our family trees. They are also the lucky recipients of much love and humor. Hummingbird asked our resident literary curator, Lynda Bernard, to compile a grouping of quotes about Mothers-- things we know to ring true, and also pearls of wisdom offered by Mothers to us and children everywhere. Here it is-- a very loving and humorous view of our Mothers, and ourselves, for Mother's Day.
