A Taste of Chicken Soup for the Mother''s Soul 2

No one in the world will ever have a hold on our hearts the way a mother does. Mothers give us life, take care of us, teach us how to be our very best selves. And no matter how old we get, we'll always be the child she held in her arms and comforted us when we were afraid. How can we ever thank them enough for all they have done for us? It is, after all, teh hardest job anyone can do. This collection is just a small taste of the ways some of our contributors have expressed gratitude for their mothers' love and devotion. There is no one like a mother. Our mothers gave us life, love us, take care of us, and want the best for us, no matter how old we are. There is no way to adequately describe the gift they have given us. No other experience in the world compares to being a mother. Being pregnant, going through labor and childbirth, and for adoptive and biological mothers, seeing your baby & rsquo;s face for the very first time-these are powerful occurrences are just the start of the unique role in life we call motherhood. How can we ever adequately thank our mothers for the gift of life and unconditional love? How can we honor our daughters, wives, friends, and other relatives who are mothers for the enormously important job they do? We can remember to express all the love and gratitude we feel for them. We at Chicken Soup offer this & ldquo;bouquet of stories & rdquo; to mothers, and their children, everywhere. We hope it will warm the heart, make you laugh and give mothers a renewed sense of purpose and courage to continue what so many feel is life & rsquo;s most rewarding and challenging occupation COVER PAGE; TITLE PAGE; DEDICATION; CONTENT; INTRODUCTION; Growing Up; Motherof Three Thousand Sons; Confessions of a Stepmother; A Letter to My Baby; Race Against Time; My Mother's Face in the Mirror; A Forgiving Heart; The Miracle Baby; Leaving Home; Chocolate-Covered Cherries; Who is Jack Canfield; Who is Mark Victor Hansen; Who is Marci Shimoff; Who is Carol Kline; CONTRIBUTORS; COPYRIGHT PAGE
