But still bring your camera now and again. Someday they grow up and leave. Those pictures will jog your heart and you will remember the smells and the sounds that are no more and you will relive the joy over and over and over. Who says motherhood is thankless? I have a ton of pictures in my heart and in a shoebox to remind me that even back then I already received and enjoyed the rewards of motherhood.Little GrumpyAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065581455480762162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462728671028708590.post-64281032002559371502009-06-17T21:28:31.623-05:002009-06-17T21:28:31.623-05:00Hear hear for happiness!
