~WHAT BEING YOUR MOTHER MEANS TO ME~
~Barbara Cage~

~AMANDA'S 6TH GRADE & RANDALL'S KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION~
~MAY 1994~

Being your mother means that I have had the opportunity to experience loving someone more than I love myself.  I have learned what it's like to experience joy and pain through someone else's life......

Being your mother has brought me pride and joy; your accomplishments touch me and thrill me like no one else's can.  It has brought me a few tears and heartaches at times, but it has taught me hope and patience.  It has shown me the depth, strength, and power of love.

It hasn't always been easy, and I'm sure I've said and done things that have hurt or confused you.  But no one has ever made me as satisfied as you do just by being happy.  No one has made me as proud as you do just by living up to your responsibilities.

No one's smiles has ever warmed my heart like yours does; no one's laughter fills my heart with delight as quickly as yours can.  No one's hugs feel as sweet, and no one's dreams mean as much to me as yours do.

No other memories of bad times have miraculously turned into important lessons or humorous stories; the good times have become precious treasures to relive again and again.

You are a part of me, and no matter what happened in the past or what the futures holds, you are someone I will always accept, forgive, appreciate, adore, and love unconditionally.  Being your mother means that I've been given one of life's greatest gifts: 

~YOU~

~OCTOBER 31, 1985~

When you look to the twinkling stars
in the midnight skies,
Be reminded of the sparkle in her eyes.
When you hear the music 
of the morning birds,
Be reminded of her sweet voice 
when she spoke her words.
When you see the glory of a rose 
touched by the morning dew,
Be reminded of the beauty you saw 
when she smiled at you.
Although she was taken from this
world much too soon,

Be reminded of her
when you gaze upon soulful moon.
When your heart hurts because
 of your undying love,
Be reminded that she is still 
with you, an angel above.
When you're missing her so much
you feel it is tearing you apart
Be reminded...
she is with you...
in that very special place...
in your heart.
 
 

 
 

~BUTTERFLY KISSES~
~Bob Carlisle~

There's two things I know for sure,
She was sent here from Heaven,
And she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life,
But most of all, for....
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayers,
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right to
Deserve a hug every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup
From ribbon and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remenmber....
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayers.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you daddy,
But if you don't mind,
I'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time like the wind,
The years go by precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
She asked me what I'm thinking,
And I said, "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over....and gave me...
Butterfly kisses,
With her mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk beside me daddy, it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?"
"Daddy don't cry."
With all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask for God for more,
This is what love is
I know I've got to let her go,
But I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning,
And butterfly kisses...
