Lets not tromp on other ladies posts, ladies...Give everyone their chance, please...

Chatty lady.......sorry, I do not understand that comment. am I doing something wrong??

Oh heavens no Di,it was meant for the post that someone posted over this thread before people really had a chance to see it. I brought this one back. That is a good idea thought for people to practice politeness especially since we are growing so fast....HUGS

Yes, Chatty, splain please!!

OOPS! You did splain! Mea culpa.

Hello Di and Belle and Eagle ..i've been reading some of the words here and if it's ok may i add, that even though all people have mothers, for a variety of reasons, not all mothers have been/are kind, compassionate, or in anyway loving. . I've come to believe there are many, many people, young and very old, male and female, who still ache for the type of love you want to share.

Did i say that all wrong ? ... i hope not. What i meant was it is never never too late.

Norma.......thanks. Do you mean it's never too late to HAVE children? If so, I'm 48 and barren! If not, then do you mean visiting someone in a nursing home? If so, I have thought of that.....especially I've wanted to visit those who have NO children like me. I think they need a visit.Sort of like, "Paying it forward".

Hi Di... i mean it's never to late to be a mom to somebody who has never had the kind of love that has had time to listen, to speak softly, to encourage, to accept, to rejoice over good news,
to even know the worst and still accept. Some people say, oh, that what a good friend does, but it's not the same. It's 'someone willing to love me in spite of myself'. For example, years ago an 18 year got involved with our family, it was not an official thing .. anyway, to say the least he never had anyone in his corner, he'd been in a foster home at 6, then a boy's home till 11,
when it closed he was sent back to an alcohal mother, who didn't want him. He became my son an unofficial son, who i loved. When he died,
so many emotions went through me, but one thing i knew, was for a few years he had someone he called 'mom' who he knew loved him.

Di..i hope i didn't explain it wrong, i mean the type of love you have inside and are willing to give is so needed by others.
