"A mom forgives you all your faults, not to mention one or two you don't even have."
"If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been."
"A mom reads you like a book, and wherever she goes, people read you like a glowing book review."
"What is a mom but the sunshine of our days and the north star of our nights."
"Every mom aspires to be the World's Greatest Mom, and by some crazy quirk of logic, most succeed."
"Eventually you realize that the reason God didn't always answer your prayers is that He was answering your mom's prayers."
"There is a time early in life when there seem to be countless reasons for happiness, and then you discover your mom is making them up."
"Every mom knows how to play the single mom and does so exactly to the extent her marriage requires."
"Every kid tries to find out how much he can screw up and still have mom blame herself."
"Through both their lives, a mom never stops chasing her child down to the water's edge."
"Eventually you realize that your mom knows exactly who you are and has been trying to break it to you gently all your life."
"A mother sees past our excuses to the real reason it's not our fault."
A mother always counts to ten
And never, never peeks
But always knows just where you hide
And there she never seeks
Until the very nick of time
Lest tears run down your cheeks.

All good, as usual.
I like this one best:
"Eventually you realize that your mom knows exactly who you are and has been trying to break it to you gently all your life."
LOVE all of these! My favorite is the about you finally realizing that the reason you don't think your prayers were answered is because your mom's were.
Perfect!! Thank you!
Sue, Jan, thanks both. Sticking with the tried and true this Mother's Day.

john r, thanks. Can always use a fourth brother.
There is a saying that the Teacher - Guru is vital for our growth. 100 times more important than Guru is the father. 1000 times more important than father is the mother... for "Eventually you realize that the reason God didn't always answer your prayers is that He was answering your mom's prayers." Grateful Robert
Greetings, Raj. Strikes me that you have the multiples about right. rb
Dear Bob,
Thank you so much for this. You made me realise how much I needed to dearly hug the memory of my Mom!
Georgina, well put -- and in some strange, real way, it is a memory that hugs back.

Awwww. I'm posting this link on to my mom's Facebook page.
I lost my mom last month. Many of these made me cry. Thank you for capturing the essence of a mother. I loved these!
Lady Jane,
Oops, sorry, just noticed your comment -- a year later. Hope your mom enjoyed the link.
Kathi,
I'm so glad to have said something meaningful to you at this sad time in your life. I think you will find, as the months and years go by, that you have not really lost your mom. You will be amazed at the ways she manages to be there when you need her.
smiles,
