Default I am MAD....Are you?

To be sincere I have a girlfriend who is in her 50's I just was shocked to know she was so old.

Guess Who?


It's my MOM

----------------------------------------------------------

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom?

"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said,
"And you never will, but that's O.K.".......

Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?".
"All women cry for no reason," was all his Dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man,
still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him, he asked "God, why do women cry so easily?"

GOD answered.... ..

"When I made woman,
I decided she had to be special.
I made her shoulders
strong enough to carry
the weight of the world, yet,
made her arms gentle enough to give comfort..
I gave her the inner strength
to endure childbirth
and the rejection
that many times will come
even from her own children.

I gave her a hardness
that allows her
to keep going and take care
of her family and friends,
even when everyone else gives up,
through sickness and fatigue without complaining….

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all
circumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly.....

She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and
to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears....

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults
and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart....

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but
sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him

unfalteringly. ...

For all of this hard work,
I also gave her a tear to shed.
It is hers to use
whenever needed and !
it is her only weakness....

When you see her cry,
tell her how much you love her,
and all she does for everyone,
and even though she may still cry,
you will have made her heart feel good.

She is special!

Please send this to women you know, and those with mothers,
sisters, and special women in their lives.

But, also send this to men so they will understand about what a
wonderful thing a woman is.

Love Your Mother Always

And Keep Her Smiling

What about the mothers who abandon their children and leave the fathers to bring them up? Such mothers do exist.

@ stuartnz.... a very exceptional cases u may find such mothers but in general "THE PERSON BETTER THAN GOD IS CALLED MOTHER"

She is a person who will guide you all your life, she will always be there for you and love you no matter what. Sometimes we don't realise how special a Mother is until we lose her. Mothers are Love!!

Not all of them. Here in NZ there have been many very disturbing cases of truly horrible abuse of infants by their mothers, several of which ended in the children being killed by their mothers, often in truly horrible ways. The frequency of single fathers raising children is increasing around the world too, and there are many, many people who know from personal experience that their own mothers have never guided them, and have never been there for them. There also many for whom the idea that anyone can be better than God is blasphemy. That's one reason why I absolutely loathe the Hema Malini/Amitabh movie Baghban, an evil and vile piece of sickening propaganda.

I don't see where this thread is going, or what value it can possibly have for English learners. I'm closing it.
