I hope you don't mind, but I thought it might be a good idea to start a Part 2 thread for the Mother's Day Swap. (I know some people have dial-up and it takes time to load a long thread.)
This is my Mother's Day Tribute:
I work at a school as a teacher assistant for students with special needs (which has similar job responsibilities as that of a teacher except lower pay). So ..... I have a different take on what being a mother is. Sometimes we are not only mothers to our own children but mothers to other children as well. This is one of my all time favorite stories. I hope you enjoy it!

Wishing all of you a truly wonderful Mother's Day this Sunday! ~Becky~

I watched the little movie and cried through most of it. It was touching and gave me pause to think.

They will be going into my garden beds over the next few days! Thanks so much to everyone for all the goodies! I also received a pretty hankie and some notecards from one or two of you sweet moms here! THANK YOU!!!
And a special THANKS to Sheran for hosting this swap! That was sooooo nice of YOU! I wish each and everyone of you a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow! :-)
