Mother - Noun
1. Someone who will love you unconditionally, till her last breath.
Mother - Verb
1. It's something you do , not just who you are.
Being a Mother is a choice you make every day to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you are not sure what the right thing is, and to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong.
Don't forget, a Mother's love is whole no matter how many times divided.
๐๐Happy Mother's Day to all of you magnificent Mothers, Grandmothers and those (sadly) filling the gap of a Mother๐๐
You are all living angels and should be very proud of the work you are doing, have done or are about to do.

welcome (& help) new neighbour
kia ora lovely neighbours
as some of you know, I love the marketplace on here - (you know people are LOCAL, easy to collect) - and meet such lovely neighbours in the process.
I did not click on the 'ad' for "free house hold stuff" - as I though were GIVING away stuff - and little I need right now.
oh when I did - a very easy mistake to make - ASKING for - not giving away
Amanda & her 2 sons (12 & 16) have just moved here, out west, from Wellington - and looking for a helping hand
so generous neighbours - is there anything surplus to your requirement that you can help Amanda with?
"Hi me an my two sons have just relocated to Glen Eden from Wellington an are looking for few things for our house kitchen table an chairs pots an pans an draws cabinets etc thank you"
"16 and 12 and we are needing dinning table and chairs vacuum kitchen stuff and draws for boys rooms"
I think I have a spare large frying pan - but can't help with the rest....
if you can't help, all good - just if you don't ask, you don't get - (so see Amanda's ad - in Marketplace - under "free house hold stuff" - for her contact info)
peace & love - arohanui
