Love, admiration and astonishment

Mother’s Day 2026: A Celebration of Love and Memories

In preparing for Mother's Day, I stumbled upon beautiful pictures in our archive taken six years ago.

The pictures are of my daughter and our grandson. They are precious.

Sitting with my morning coffee, I hear our rooster crowing. My feelings surprise me. I look at the little boy who is now attending grade school. Where has the time gone?

I am filled with love, admiration, and astonishment. I wish I could slow time down. My greatest memories are those spent with family. Seven years have flown by quickly. Each day with them is the greatest gift of all.

Love, Admiration, and Astonishment

As a mother, the love you feel for your children runs deep. It's hard to put into words.

You gaze at these small bodies staring back at you, filled with needs, laughter, and total dependence. Over the past three years, my mother’s words echo in my mind: “You are such a good mother. You guys are such good parents. I love seeing you with your girls.” At the time, I didn’t fully grasp her meaning. Now, I understand.

Watching our daughters with their children fills me with admiration. They always put their kids first, nurturing an environment where they can learn and grow. It astonishes me to think that my girls were once this young, and now they are mothers themselves.

Just yesterday, I spoke with a friend who is visiting her daughter on the East Coast next week. She shared her excitement about surprising her daughter and connecting with her grandchildren. “I watch my daughter outside, looking at ants with her boys. She asks them questions and laughs with them. It amazes me to see what a wonderful mother she has become.”

Unplanned Memories

Often, as mothers, we wonder what our children will remember.

We can get caught up in routines, schedules, and daily demands. But when we step back and watch our children, we realize they remember the unplanned moments. Like the time a pizza soared out of the box and landed on your daughter’s face. Or the love and support you provide. Remember that school talent show when your son looked up with beaming eyes and said, “My mom is here”?

It astonishes me to think about these moments. They feel like a lifetime ago, yet just yesterday. My husband often says, “The days are long, but the years are short.” That, my darling, is the absolute truth.
