I was reading a book (Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult) last night and I read these lines:
" I wonder if there's a difference between being a dutiful mother and being a good mother."
"There is. A dutiful mother is someone who follows every step her child makes.
And a good mother is someone whose child wants to follow her."
I immediately thought of my own good mother and realized how true this statement is. I have been so blessed to have a wonderful mom. I see her goodness more and more everyday and I want to be like her.
Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you more than you will ever know.
