"A Mother's Love"

A Mother's love is something that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.

Mary has always been the rock of her sons' lives. She alone raised all 3 of them to be amazing men, who have all in return blessed her with 8 delightful grandchildren. I don't think there is a better blessing for a mother than having so many grandchildren.

The kids all came together and decided to put together a family photo session of everyone before Pat, Mary's middle son, and his family move to Idaho. I am sure Mary feels so fortunate to have such a wonderful family just like all of them feel so lucky to have her as their mother and grandmother. Who wouldn't want kids like these that are so thoughtful in giving her something she can cherish forever.

It is really great to see how the grandkids all seem to have a loving close relationship with each other. The older kids definitely will do anything for all their younger cousins!

Good luck Pat and Ashley. I wish you guys the best!
