My sweet pleasures. can be found by others,
It’s the reward of mothers.

Mother's Day card 2005
From You Daughter
The best part of having a mother like you
is that we chare so much,
Whether we're shopping together,
going to lunch,
or just spending time visiting,
I enjoy your company so much,
And when I think about
all that we have in common,
I know that we share more
than just a mother-daughter relationship...
We have a closeness that is more special
than any other kind of friendship could ever be.
Happy Mother's Day
personal note;
Dear Mom,
Thanks for everything.No one could have
a better mother than mine,I love you!!
Love Always,
Crystal
Swan of the Lake
The moonlight sparkles over the water.
The stars shine like diamonds in the sky,
I see my daughter with a sparkle in her eye.
She spreads her wings as if to fly to her fate.
From a little duckling to the beautiful
Swan of the lake
The butterfly
She has only recently felt her beauty,
Her wings flutter slightly,
attracted to the distant flower,
The sun glistens ,The skies are so blue,
as the sun goes down the sky sparkles with stars
and the moonlight is
beaconing her to try her new found wings.
She spreads her wings for her maiden flight,
searching for secret dreams with
a young heart's delight.
Perhaps of the fairy tale's knight.
A tear is im my eye,
Wondering if she will take with her all
I have taught her,
As I watch her rising toward the sky,
My daughter,
The butterfly.
Once I held a baby in my arms
Once there was a baby in my arms.
I held him close in the storms.
His smile captured my heart back then
Where did the time go? Now he's a man.
I once held a baby in my arms.
Everyone fell for her charms.
She chased butterflies
her hair blew in the wind.
I wish I could go back to that time again.
To the time I had a baby in my arms.
Once I held a baby in my arms.
I held him close in the storms.
I see the storms come to an end.
A I watch him leave on his motorcycle
with his back against the wind.
His smile captured my heart again,
I once held a baby in my arms.
I once held a baby in my arms.
Everyone fell for her charms.
She chased butterflies
her hair blew in the wind.
I wish I could go back to that time again.
To the time I had a baby in my arms.

Jeremy
A few special of memories of Jeremy,
Jeremy has a deep spiritual side.
One night when Jeremy was about 11
he was at my house,
and a big storm came.
I asked Jeremy to find the weather channel,
as he flipped through the channels.
he came across a christain network and stopped,
He aaid we don't need the weather channel,
or to be scared,God is here,
we will be alright meme.
Another special memory,
was when the movie the Passion
came out,
I had thought it would be too sad,
and had not planned to go,
Jeremy came over.
and said let's go see the Passion meme.
Jeremy rarely dates a girl without bringing
her to meet me,
I think that is very sweet.
Jeremy drives out of his way
to take me on roads less stressful.
