YOU so silly!

Just as my goal is to deliver quality before quantity, I’m glad you waited til you had time to expound for you’ve described my poem’s allusions incredibly well. Given it’s about you, that’s no surprise yet it’s powerful to have such internal imagery & intent reflected. You’ve described me as your alter-ego & you’re my inner compass; I hope [for their sakes] many a parent & child aren’t only as compatible but also as complementary as we.

Moments are created when shared which is why we’re still building our connection, even if online anymore, & precisely what makes online interaction significant. As we inspire others, we benefit.. G & G (aka your parents) certainly factor into our success as they showed us each how to live while letting us live the lives they inspired. The ability to ‘let live’ is the one you’ve most made your own & I thank you from the bottom of my reconstructed heart! I love you too, w/all the unconditional love you instilled in me!! <3

Excited by the concept of your blog, it was a nice bit of synchronicity to see so much of myself in your Mothers’ Day post.

|_|) From the “Gilmore Girls” [to whom we can certainly relate]:
Lorelai: I can drive a stick.
Rory: You can stir coffee with a stick, but you can’t drive a stick.
Lorelai: Okay, I am glad I did not choose to record that particular moment in my daughter’s life ’cause that was just ugly.

I am a huge coffee fan. On my third cup of the morning with lots more to go, so I’m sure I’ll be back! It looks like a fun place to be! Loved the post about Moms!

Now, that kind of pride is healthy.. My mum & I do feel a sense of self-satisfaction in each other’s accomplishments. It’s encouraging to be reminded the feeling’s timeless, particularly as we’re facing her mom’s mortality.

I remember your mom’s passing & hurt for you still; she passed her awesomeness along.

This poem grew from seeds planted while I was writing her birthday poem; this one’s a different species to be sure but hopefully just as noble.

Speaking of planting ideas, what a joy to have any part in bringing your brilliant tea post about!

Having experienced everything the quote references, I can attest it’s no exaggeration; my mum is a peace-maker by nature but a peace-giver by choice! Your own Mothers’ Day post expresses the versatility of mothers well & the “fabulosity” of your own.

I’m awfully glad to ‘see’ you here as To Think Is To Create. Speaking of creating tho’, no-one has yet created a 3,000 character comment — what a comment that would be!?

That she did (& does), especially by being my friend as well. Your Mothers’ Day post depicts a mother who also treated her children as the people they are.

Thanx for stopping by! I so appreciate your site.. What better gift could our mothers’ have given us than the encouragement of tho’t?!

Thanks for your kind comments on my post. My mom liked it too.

I found myself reading many a Mothers’ Day post in lieu of being able to see my mum that day & e-mailed the posts to her. Your mom enjoying my comment (on your post) brings that journey full circle as my mum has greatly enjoyed these; thank you both!

I’m thrilled to be bookmarked & even more thrilled to have inspired. Looking forward to future visits (& tweets)..
