I Know what mean motherhood
mam is give light in my life and give love all years of me
she is light of me
mam i love you
My mom is my best friend. She has always been there for me, and she and I have been close my whole life. It's hard for me to get ready to head off to college 22 hours from her and from everyone that I know. But, she could not be more supportive. And I am so grateful for that. Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like to have Celine as a mother. It would be so cool. But, I have my mom and I am so happy with that. She is the reason that I keep going. And Celine is my life's inspiration. It's kind of a tag team deal. I love them both so dearly.
Celine, I'm everything I am because you loved me.

Wow, were do I begin, first I had the most amazing role model for a mother. She was wonderful to everyone around her. She past away 4 years ago and I miss her so very much. I am a mother to two very special girls, I say girls, but they are 18 and 16 now. Both have a form of Autism. They are a blessing to me everyday. We are the lucky ones as they are both verbal, I know they could have had a more severe form. They are able to tell me they love me and that I'm the best mommy in the whole world. I can't tell you how happy that makes me when they say that. I love them dearly and I am the happiest mom in the world because of them. Thank you for listening to my story.

My own mother was very sick during my time with her growing up. I didn't have the joy of becoming a mother, but I spent 38 years as an educator and found tremendous joy there with young people and their families. Over the years, I have had the good fortune of knowing many families and their children. This allowed me to be a part of sharing the wonder of these mothers as they protected and nurtured their children. When you produced "A New Day," I was so touched by the song, that I told my friend I was going to Vegas to hear you sing that song and others from the CD. I cried when you entered the stage humming the first few notes. I was so moved. I saw that show three times and loved it so. Thank you for that experience and for sharing your pictures of your children in the current show. I will be there in June. You waited so long for your family. You are a wonderful mom, and I can see that you also love your own mother and family. Lots of joy there. Hope you are feeling better. See you in June. Bobette
I haven't become a mother yet, and i had to say goodbye to my mom 2 years ago.
a mother inspires her child through every ways of life, and she inspires you to live, I remember the days after I lost my mom I was so broken, having no will to go on without her, we were so close and loosing her was like a disaster to me, but in my heart I knew she wants me to go on and she doesn't want to see me sad and suffering, so I tried to pull myself together and go on, it is her love that still lighten my heart.
and you my dear Celine hold my hand in that hard times too, I remember listening to There comes a time at that momemts and I was feeling much better.
Celine, You are my angel from above
I always wondered if I was a good enough mother to my son, I have had so many medical problems over the years and wished I could do more for my son then I had. His father and I split up when he was 9 and I became a single mom and everyone including my own family wondered if I could cope with being a single mom and dealing with all my medical problems as well, but I showed them all I raised an amazing son all by myself and in September of 2010 he became a father to a wonderful baby girl, when I saw him hold his daughter for the first time and saw the love in his eyes I knew right then and there that I did something right and was blessed not only to have an amazing son but an amazing granddaughter as well who I love as much as my son.
I have a miracle baby we named Celine. She was born the day before Celine Dion's twins were born. I had suffered 6 miscarriages over 10 years and been through unsuccessful IVF. I had given up trying and tried to accept my fate - that I would never be a mother. In March 2010, at age 44, I made a huge life decision and went to University to complete a Masters degree. I discovered I was pregnant on the second day of the course. I was shocked to be pregnant at such an age, but waited for the inevitable to happen. I didn't even go to the doctors. I just waited for the miscarriage. But for some reason, we will never know why, the pregnancy hung in there. My baby was due on the very same day that my thesis was due! It was a high risk pregnancy with all sorts of scares along the way, but on 24th October 2010 (two weeks early and four days after I delivered my thesis) our healthy, beautiful daughter Celine was born. Just a couple of weeks short of my 45th birthday. A true miracle. She has just turned 18 months old and I still feel like the luckiest woman on the planet. Our story made the newspaper and magazines here in New Zealand. Sadly we have never seen Celine live. We flew to Sydney once but the concert was cancelled due to Celine suffering from a virus. We hope one day Celine will see her namesake perform. I am a singer/songwriter and here is a link to a song of mine that I have dedicated to her called "I Will Never Stop Loving You". Hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ94NzPbC98
To our mothers this special day to this very special person in our life
Dear Mum, the day has sadly come
That you’ll be laid to rest,
But to know you as our Mother
Sis and I were truly blessed…
It makes it hard to let you go
(Tho’ you’ll live on in our hearts)
Whilst we say "Farewell" ... "God bless you"
As your final journey starts.
We know that Dad was waiting
Whilst, with dignity, you tired,
And that as your spirit strengthens
He’ll remain there at your side…
Then your hearts once more will truly dance….
But not across the floor…
As we see you raise his spirit
As we watch the eagles soar!
Once again you’ll be uplifting him
- The Wind Beneath His Wings
(Tho’ I guess we’ll find it difficult
To cope with earthly things!)
‘Cause, Mother, you were always here
Nursing us through life…
Loving… teaching… guiding us…
Supporting us through strife!
Your gentle nature, it belied
The strength of your resolve ~
The cornerstone upon which
Our family evolved!
Whilst throughout your greatest suffering
You revealed to us your courage
The perfect lady you remained
And your inner beauty flourished.
Mum, throughout your greatest trial
As you faded and grew weak
Your principles were evident
As you forced your breath to speak…
So, dear lady, it’s with pride we say:
“We’ll do our best to bring
Honour to your memory”
As the Wind Beneath OUR Wings!
It was by your actions, not your words,
That you always showed the way
To become the women we should be…
Today, and every day.
But you’ve set a precedent so high
I fear we’ll sense that f r o w n !
So please continue guiding us
So we don’t let you down!
You wore life’s burdens self-less-ly…
Your love, it bore your strength…
Your house, you always made a home…
Your loyalty was immense…
You were generous, forgiving,
Charming, …graceful, …always sweet…
You were fashionable, NO! Stunning!
And though gentle…Never weak!
You lived your life in service
And we all saw you rewarded
With loving friends and fam’ly
(Gifts which not all are afforded).
But in the Autumn of your life
God saw that you were spent
Thus for your faith and suff’ring
The perfect gift was lent...
He saw “Riana Moorings”
And He knew that it would be
The very home to help you live
In perfect harmony.
Just think, that earthly paradise
Where you lived just 3 years
Was a taste of His eternity
To sweeten lonely tears.
So… we’ll recognise that gentle breeze,
Or find you under wing,
We’ll feel you as you brush our cheeks,
Or ‘gainst the leaves you’ll sing.
Our hearts, they will be bursting
Maybe as the dolphin dives,
And we thank you for the love you shared
Through our entire lives.

With panic in my eyes for my kids I thought I was going to die. From that day on I was threw so many test and they could not find nothing wrong with me for a year in a half. So Sick that I could not be a good mom anymore no strength no life was left of me. My husband and 2 sons went to Disneyland that summer , and I was sick the hole time, my husband and children give me so much hope to walk with them spend time with them. And God gave me so much Strength to do this. Come home went to a specialist heart Sergent and found out that I had a heart attack and 5 Blockages and I need to do an EMERGENCY Surgery ASAP. Will I did it, and they told me that I Susie was a MIRACLE MOTHER AND WOMEN> I did not die this whole time that I was sick.

My family And I would love to see you in Las Vegas, I have been dreaming to see you for the last 18 years but never could do it. My husband has promise me this summer we will see you in concert this summer. I am only 42 years old, and leaving with God blessings.

I remember the person loved me so much..
She is a woman that give me life..
Give me hope and makes me growth in faith..
I saw her always working everyday to fullfill our needs..
She never worried and upset..
She always try her best to make everything is good..
She never said to me about all of her problems..
She always save the problems in the deep of her hearts..
When I was afraid, she always give me strength..
She never leave me alone..
She is a great mom..
Although she always solve the problems alone..
She never asked God to make my father back..
She only survive and believed what will be God's plan..
She always pray and pray for me and for all of her life that she walks now..
I wanna be like her..
I wanna makes her happyy..
Thank you mom for giving me a birth as your child..

when I was 15 the doctors told me that I would have a hard time having children, that's when I had my first operation. I met my husband when I was 18 and the moment that I saw him, I knew that he was the one to be the father of my kids. From 20 to 24 I saw a doctor that helped me and our first son was born sept 9 1999, I was 24 years old. Then I had two misscarriages, one at 15 weeks and the other at 5 weeks, My husband got sick in 2008 and I almost lost him, but God thought differant and our second son was born May 4 2009. Our boys are 10 yrs apart but they are buds and even though I still have ruff days with the kids fighting, I LOVE BEING A MOMMY, IT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I GET UP IN THE MORNING AND EVERYDAY I AM THANKFUL TO GOD FOR THE GREATEST GIFTS THAT HE GAVE MY HUSBAND AND ME. EVERYDAY I TRY ME BEST TO BE THE BEST MOTHER THAT I CAN BE. AND I WILL GO THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT I WENT THROUGH IN MY LIFE BECAUSE GOD GAVE ME MY SONS. MOTHERHOOD...........IT'S A WONDERFUL THING.
وداعاً ( أكثر الكلمات حزنا)
ماما
أَحْيَيْتَني
تَحَوَّلتَ من رضيعة إلى سيّدة
و قد أعطيت يا مي كل ما تملكين
كَانَ وعد المحبة مدى الحياة
الآن أَعْرِفُ
ليْسَ هناك حب آخر
يوازي محبة الأم لولدها
و أَعْرِفُ
أنه في المحبة الكاملة
يجب على أحد أن يغادر
و يقول وداعاً
كلمة وداعاً هي الكلمة الأكثر حزنا سأسمعها
وداعا هي آخر كلمة سأقولها عندما أحضنك
يوما ما أنتَ ستَقُولينُ تلك الكلمة و سأَبْكِي
سيَفْطُرُ قلبي أسمعك تقولين وداعاً
ماما
وَهَبْتَ محبّة لِي
تَحَوَّلَ من فتاة صغير السّنّ إلى إمرأة
أمي لم تكوني أبدا بحاجة
إلى ضمانة لتعرفي بأنني أحبك
لأنني أعلم
ليْسَ هناك من حب
أكبر من محبة الأم لطفلها
ومن المؤلم جداً
و من الصعب
بأن أحد سوف يذهب و يقول وداعاً
كلمة وداعاً هي الكلمة الأكثر حزنا سأسمعها
وداعا هي آخر كلمة سأقولها عندما أحضنك
يوما ما أنتَ ستَقُولينُ تلك الكلمة و سأَبْكِي
سيَفْطُرُ قلبي أسمعك تقولين وداعاً
لكن الحب الذي أعطيته سيعيش أبداً
ستَكُونُ دائماً هناك كلّ مرّة أَسْقُطُ
قَدَّمْتي لي أكبر حب
أخذت ضعفي و حولته إلى قوة
و سأُحِبُّكَ إلى الأبد
و عندما تَحْتَاجُني
سأَكُونُ هناك من أجلكَ دائماً
ستكُونُ هناك حياتكَ الكَامِلة
سأَكُونُ هناك هذا وعد يا أمي
سأَكُونُ
سأكون هناك في الليالي الأكثر ظلاماً
سأَكُونُ جناحيك التي تُرْشِدُ رحلتكَ التائهة
سأَكُونُ ملجأكَ إلى العاصفة القاسية
و سأُحِبُّكَ إلى أن تأتي نهاية العالم
كلمة وداعاً هي الكلمة الأكثر حزنا سأسمعها
وداعا هي آخر كلمة سأقولها عندما أحضنك
يوما ما أنتَ ستَقُولينُ تلك الكلمة و سأَبْكِي
سيَفْطُرُ قلبي أسمعك تقولين وداعاً
حتى نتقابل مرّة ثانية...
حتّى ثمّ...
مع السلامة
My mom is in a wheelchair, because of her back and one of her legs doest work anymore (this happend when she was giving birth to me), she also has multiple personality syndrom, but she inspired me very much, I love her very much. My dad wasn't around since their divorce, so she brought me up by her self, there wasnt a lot of money, but there was always food and drinks and candy and that kind of stuff enough, my friends could always stay for dinner.. we coulnd go on holiday, bacause of her illness and money, but instead, we would put up a tent in our garden, and we'd be camping in our garden for a week, sleeping on an airbed. Back in those days I realy didn't realize how much that hurted her body, but it was great! In winter times she putted on this big warm bright yellow light, as if it was the sun, and then she would say, " imagine the beach, and we're in the tropics" we would make cards with glitter and stuff. Now i've grown I realize how much it must have costed her emotionaly to do that, and to accept the fact that she couln'd do things normaly. She showed me that you might not have the resorces to go on holiday or to buy a house or to simply make all your deams come true, but you can always, no matter what, try the best you can to get as close as posible...it is always in your own hands, and instead of being angry or sad about those things you can always have fun and a good life! My mum is great and I love her! Now almost 8 years since I left th house, she is getting bettr,not the physical thing but the mental things is, and I repect her and I am really proud of her for working this hard! And that inspires and motivates me to keep working om myself and my problems...she is the greatest mother you could wish for!

FLY
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light .
THERE IS A SPECIAL ANGEL
There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is part of me.
It is not where I wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.
He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn't very far.
He touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send him all my love.

CELINE DION - There Comes A Time - http://youtu.be/G9nOxUxjKjY
ALWAYS MY SON
You are my son, a part of me, and that will never change,
No matter what you do in life my love will still remain.
I held you as a baby and I looked into your face,
And I knew then, no other one could ever take your place.
I knew then as I held you, you would grow to be a man,
And anything you did in life I'd try to understand.
I knew you would make choices and would follow your own heart,
I only prayed that in your life I'd always have a part.
I knew some things you did in life would give me so much pride,
But also realized some things would tear me up inside.
I only want the best for you and want you to succeed,
And want you to find happiness with everything you need.
I can only guide you and give you a helping hand,
You will choose the path to take now that you are a man.
Along the road that you will choose, whatever that may be,
Just remember this my son that you can count on me.
I will not try to push you to live life in my own stride,
I only promise I will love you and stand by your side.
I know that you will make mistakes and life is full of them,
But realize my love for you will not let me condemn.
I know this life's not perfect and we do the best we can,
Just realize I love you and I'll always understand.
I knew one day you would grow up and you would leave my nest,
I will do what I can for you and let God do the rest.
I have held you in my arms and done the best I can,
Now I pray that God will hold you now that you're a man.
Just remember in my heart you are a special one,
And I will always proudly tell the world, "This Is My Son."

LOVE WITHOUT CONDITION - http://youtu.be/BNYcholASdk
I LOVE MY SON
If I could bring you a world full of happiness, I would. If I could take your sadness and pain and feel them for you, I would. If I could give you the strength to handle the problems that this world may have for you, I’d do that, too. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for you to bring laughter instead of tears into your life...
I can’t give you happiness, but I can feel it with you. I can’t take away all your hurts in this world, but I can share them with you. I can’t give you strength when you need it the most, but I can try to be strong for you.
I can be there to tell you how much I love you. In times when you feel you need to reach out to someone, I can be there for you, not to change how you feel, but to go through these times with you.
When you were little, I could hold you in my arms to comfort you but you’ll never be too grown up for me to put my arms around you. You are so special to me, and the most precious gift I could have ever received was you on the day you were born.
I LOVE YOU !

My mom and I have always been pretty close and haven't gone without having our differences but she always backed me up with every struggle that I've had and I can tell there has been a lot lately, I always thought that I was such a failure to her because my life until now had really no direction I never knew what I really wanted and felt that I have completely wasted my life. Mom always encouraged me to find my strengths and follow my dreams but I'm still chasing them...She knew that there was a chapter of my life that never seems to end...Having a mom immigrating to the US at the age of two with my grandmother and uncle not being able to speak the language or the culture to make a better life for themselves I can only imagine difficult and strange that must have been for my mom. Growing up in a working-class family the daughter of a fisherman and his wife, learning to speak English and the age of nine and then grow up to start a family of her own with my dad and now the soon-to-be Mother of the Bride will now watch me take on my own adult life starting next year with my upcoming wedding
I just might change my mind and let you in my life forever!

In loving memory of Mother
God saw you in too much pain
You suffered so much though you didn’t complain
You always said do not worry about me I’ll be Ok
How I cried and Felt all alone the Day you left us
You always said God was our father some day
He would call us back home
I didn’t understand at first why he took you
I was not to question the work of God
I finally realized he loved you so much
He said you were not to suffer any longer
He took you home and made you an angel
I will always love you.
In Loving memory of Mother.

It’s been 85 days since the morning I found that I was gonna deliver you. Rough and smooth, long and short, upset and happy, all mixed up in those days when I had to deal with a new living little creature trusted to me.

Can’t believe that only one-month-and-so ago I always jerked everytime I breastfed you. The pangs of pain, the seemingly neverending demands of yours, they all were my giants. Thanks be to God, your father and me never let those giants beat us. We may not be perfect parents, but we’re trying to do our best to be good parents to you.
You’ve developed so much, B. You now smile socially, you can see your hands and bring them to your mouth to deliciously lick them. Just few weeks ago, you couldn’t control your hands, and everytime you brought them up, you would hit your head with your own hands. Now that was a delightful scene
Amazingly, you shape your own pattern, you usually wake up at 7 am, take a bath, breastfeed then sleep til around 9.30. And now you sleep earlier at night! Such a relief!
Anyhoo, B, I know our journey lies far far ahead, still so many things to learn, many unknown stuff await to be unrevealed. Such excitement! Such fear! Such joy! Yes, most of all is joy, because bringing you to this crazy world is our responsibility, our choice, and when God chose us to parent you, B, it is such a great joy and honor to receive you.
well uhm… and original and good beginning.
I would love to put some pictures in this but the police hasn't given them back yet…
The police took our picture because their were some pictures there that were illegal. They were what you would call child porn. Something that should end immediately. My stepfather took those pictures of me, and now today he's just in jail and still has 3 years to go.
Of course this is about mothers and not about sad life stories. My mom helped me very much with progressing what happened. When the police discovered the pictures I was scared that my mom would not believe me. But of course she believed me and she was always on my side. She told me that whatever might have happened or might happen, that she would always be there to support me. Even though she now has to end the marriage to here husband, which she still really loves. But she will never be able to live under one roof with again. This is a big and difficult sacrifice and I totally completely love here for being able to do that for me. She made my home a save place again, a place where I can be me and a place where I can be with the people I love.
I know I'll never be able to show here how much I respect her, because their isn't anything that comes close to what she deserves.
Mom, I love you very much. Thank you for everything.

Today, I have wrote a SONG in french !!!!! I dedicate this Song to my Mother, to our Mothers;-) I hope YOU like it , here is the Songtext :
Maman tu es mon Ange
Neuf moins tu me portait dans ton ventre , avec beacoup d'effort
Puis après je voyais la première lumière, tu me portais dans tes bras
En ce moment tu promettais que tu vas m'aimer dans tout les temps
Et tu as tenu ton promesse, tu me donnais et vas me donner ton amour..... ton amour..oouuh
Ref : Maman, est-ce que tu sais comment je t'aime ?, ah oui je t'aime tellement beaucoup
Les mots ne peuvent pas décrire notre amour
Maman quand je suis triste, tu es avec moi..avec moi...
Et tu me console toujours, vraiment tu es mon ange...
Les temps viendra, et tu vas me quitter, ah ca me fait mal de penser de ça
Mais moi je ne veux jamais te perdre, tu es mon ange...
Et sans toi pas moi.....
Ref : Maman, est-ce que tu sais comment je t'aime ? , ah oui je t'aime tellement beaucoup
Les mots ne peuvent pas décrire notre amour
Maman quand je suis triste, tu es avec moi... avec moi...
Et tu me console toujours, vraiment, vraiment,vraiment, vraiment tu es mon Ange
End
This Song is now in Youtube!!!! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAtjtXRdEI0
My Mother has always been a great Mom, I never realized just how fantastic a Mom she was until I had my own daughter. My daughter Charlotte and I had a rough time the first few months and my Mom was there to help every step of the way, doing all that she could to help out.
I never thought I was selfish, until I had Charlotte and realized what being a parent truly is. My daughter has made me a better person and my Mother inspires me to be a better Mom. My life has changed in such a positive way because of my mother and my daughter!
In my opinion, Motherhood is the greatest gift and and self rewarding journey bestowed upon a woman. My Mother is my idol and unsung hero. All through my life, she has been a true inspiration, and loved me unconditionally. In conjunction with various other sicknesses and adversities, my amazing Mother is fighting the late stages of progressive Multiple Sclerosis. She was diagnosed in my grade 7 year, and to this day refuses to be bound to a wheel chair or bed. She is/has always been there for me as a guide, mentor, protector, teacher, angel, best friend and the biggest fan for everything I do. Even though I veer away from burdening her with my issues, she insists on being there to support me any way she can. She accepts me for who I am, and forever encourages me to reach for the stars. I am a Mother of a precious two and a half year old angel girl. It is my goal to emulate my Mother's skills and teachings in my own parenting. It is my wish that my daughter will know the eternal love of a Mother, as I feel from mine. My daughter is named in honor of my two greatest idols, my Mother Lynne and Celine Dion. Her name is Celynne, a beautiful combination of the two women I admire most in my life. Mom, I am everything I am "Because You Loved Me"
A miracle quite Unexpected!
My husband and I married after I finished college. At 35 I thought I had done everything right in making my mother proud. My husband and I talked about how we would be as parents. One discussion we didn't have was what would we do if it never happened. In 2004 I had a laproscopy that showed my reproductive organs were encased in scar tissue and wouldn't be able to carry an embryo to my uterus. The only way I could get pregnant was with IVF.
I was hesitant at first but we went forward and had 3 failed IVF's in 2005. I was devastated and our last hope was putting 5 of the frozen embryos I had left in hopes that I could get pregnant with at least one. I had a very low positive pregnancy test and later miscarried a few days later.
It was heartbreaking to know that I would never carry a baby inside of me. I wanted to experience morning sickness, get fat, have labor. I wanted it all. I didn't know how to pray at this point because I didn't want to pray for God to take away the desire of wanting to be pregnant.
God had his own perfect timing in bringing the Desires of my heart. Six months after we decided to not pursue IVF anymore I became pregnant at age 38. We decided to not have any testing done for advanced maternal age or to find out the sex of our child. Why not. We knew this child would be perfect in every way.
Before my son was born, I had not held a baby in 5 years. I became distant of my friends who were having babies and struggled to maintain a somewhat normal appearance to those who didn't know my inner turmoil.
On October 9, 2007 my son was born and we named him after his father. The first time I had heard Celine Dion's song called "Miracle". I had been afraid to listen to it. I was afraid to want something so much. I cried when I listened to the words of the song and holding my newborn baby.
Being a mother is so much more than I ever thought it would be. I am fullfilled with my one time experience of feeling and knowing that someone is growing inside of you. Knowing that this would more than likely be the only time I would feel this and treasuring ever minute of it. I am truly blessed with this Miracle of my son who was given to us
My name is Jennifer. My husband and I started dating in June of 1994. Our wedding song is "The Power of Love". We started trying to have a baby when I was 28. Celine and I were pregnant with our first babies at the same time. My favorite song (theme song) was "A New Day Has Come". On Mothers Day though i had some cramping and went to the doctor only to find out we had miscarried. It was heartbreaking since it took us over 18 months (with fertility treatments) to get pregnant the first time. I couldn't listen to that song again as when I did I would cry. Then in January of 2003 my husband and I decided to leave it to God. We did no treatments and within a few months were pregnant again. This time I carried the baby full term. He was a boy Ari Luke born February 12th 2004...just a few months before we had been together 10 years
. Needless to say my favorite song again is "A New Day Has Come'. My son is the greatest blessing my husband and I could have ever hoped for. My little guy just had his 2nd piano recital and played "My Heart Will Go On"...it brought me to tears. I believe each child is a miracle.
It was December 24, 2009. I was sitting in the reception room of my gyneacologist. About five minutes later he called me to his consulting room, examined me and said:" you need a cesarean section, it's urgent. you needn't worry. I'll tell the nurses to prepare everything." It was not a surprise for me, I had known that it might happen, but I was a little bit scared."... so urgent? I have come here just to see the doctor... and I'm going to have a baby right away..." I thought.
the nurses took me to the surgery. I was lying on the operating table and praying:" The Bless Virgin Mary help me. Lord have mercy, please save my baby... one... two... three... I'm off.."
Abdominal pains woke me up. "Oh, God, I feel so terrible". I said. "It's ok after the operation", said the nurse." You will soon feel better. You've got a giant boy, 4200 grams, healthy and very handsome." "Can I see him?" I asked. "Sure " said she and went out.
No feeling can compare with the feeling when you see your baby for the first time. A tiny creature with tiny fingers and tiny pale swollen face was sleeping in my arms. I felt complete happiness mixed with gentle feeling of motherhood. that's a real miracle.
Well, I made a video, but I don't know if they've received it, so I thought I'd write something too.
My mother is my best friend, number-one fan, and the place I can go to for comfort. Words cannot describe how she has helped me over the past 20 years. I am not easy to live with - I have terrible anxiety and had some special needs at school, but my mom has always been ready and willing to help me. In high school, I fell into a deep depression, stopped attending classes, and even thought about ending my life. My mom was the only one who could pull me through, the only person I listened to when she said, "Stay with me." I was able to go back to school and graduated on time...the proudest moment of both our lives!!
I am so blessed to have such an amazing woman supporting me every step of the way. <3
"Through the darkness and good times, I knew I'd make it through. And the world thought I had it all...but I was waiting for you."
I love you Céline! <3
Unfortunately, I was not able to have children, not for lack of trying, but was not able to, I do very much wish I had though, as I Love children so much however I had a very strong mother who taught me a lot in my life time. she taught me to be very independent, to stick up for myself, when I need to, to fight for things, not to take things off of any one, if some one is bulling me to go after them not let them put me down. Be a strong person. Give others a chance, not judge people on looks get to know them, as they can be the most understanding, caring person, but look not very pretty (shall we say) There have been many people in my life that have talk about me behind my back that I looked ugly or some thing, and then once they get to know me find out I am a very understanding, kind and caring person. I don't like judging others by how they look, yeah so there big so what it's what's in there hearts that counts, they may look rather large, but that's not going to stop me from getting to know them, I don't care if they are large, if they are from a different culture, or what, they are still people and, they are still nice for the most part, and unless they show me that they are bad I will be friends with them. My mom did not raise a rasists, and if I am lucky enough to possible adopt I will raise my adopted child the same way. My mom was always willing to meet new people and get to know them,no matter what, help them out when ever she could, I try very hard to follow her example in my own life, If I am able to bring children into my life in the near future will instill the same things into them, and let them know what a wonderful person my mother is. My mom at this time in her life is not able to do things for herself any more, so has been place where she can get the help she needs, but I do go every day to feed her and spend time with her, every day, I feed her lunch, and will walk around with her. She is still a wonderful women even if she is not totally there any more, she will always be my mother, and I will always treasure her no matter what. she had strong values, which she passed on to all of us kids, and I will gladly pass on to what ever children I am able to bring into my life.
Hi there
I thought i would post my motherhood story, at the age of 22 i become a mother to a beautiful little girl it was the best experience of my life, 3 years later i delivered a beautiful baby boy whom we named after his then almost 80 year old great grandfather.
Sadly in August of last year we lost our beautiful wee boy, he was taken to hospital after a very tragic accident and from there was flown to our nearest nerosurgical unit, everything was done to save his life however 24 hours after the accident we had to do the hardest things a parent should never have to do and turn his life support off. The past months have been incredibly hard for our family, my five year old daughter misses her brother a great deal.
Two months after this tragic turn of events, i found out i was pregant. This baby is another little girl to help heal the heartache, I have 7 weeks left and can not wait to meet her, but will forever miss my little angel boy that was taken to soon.
I have two other amazing women in my life my own mother and my mother in law, if it were not for them i don't know how i would have got through everything.
A few months ago the worst thing that could happen to a mother happened to my mother. She lost her son (my brother).A piece of her life was gone. To add more pain to the already hard situation , he had been murdered. He tried very hard to hold on to dear life so that my mother could fly out to our country to see him for the last time , but unfortunately she didnt make it on time. I was with her when that inevitable call came and we realized there was nothing more we could do. My mother has always been a very strong woman, that never really showed any sort of weakness or pain because she never wanted for her children to see her in that state.In that moment , I realized that my mother could no longer be strong. I held her , but I knew there was nothing I could say or do to console her.She flew out within 36 hours of his passing. She picked herself up, wiped her tears and went home for the funeral. She let us know that we had to be the rock for my sister in law and my 3 beautiful nieces. I know she hurts everyday. I hear her cry everyday ,but I'm afraid to let her know because that is the only time she lets her emotions out,when she is alone.I've never seen anyone who puts their pain aside in order to carry the weight of others on her shoulders, even when she knows her shoulders can no longer carry the weight. I admire my mother's strenght and courage. I hope that one day I may be at least half the woman she is.
Love to dream Dream to love
I am the mother of 4 children. After years of struggle with infertility, our first child & son Tommy came to us thru the foster / adopt program on May 12th, 2005.
Rhiannon Fay-Marie was our miracle baby after we had been told that we could never have children. We because pregnant with her shortly after her brother came into out lives. She was born on May 3, 2006 (1 week before her brothers 1st birthday), weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces, and was in picture-perfect health.
On May 11, despite babbling and cooing in the car on the way to the doctor’s office for a checkup, between the lobby and the exam room Rhiannon went into cardiac arrest. Doctors performed CPR; they did first aid; they called 911. So much happened in such a short period that even then we were unsure of what was going on around us.
In the ER, I remember Rhiannon holding my finger so tightly. I was standing above her, and I remember her looking up at me. She looked at me and it was as if she said “It’s okay, Mommy. Everything will be okay.” I felt then that it was all going to be all right and that Rhiannon recognized me as her mommy. She was holding my finger so tight for such a sick little angel who was going through so much.
In the early morning hours of May 12, doctors pulled us aside and said that they had done everything that they could do. She was now being kept alive only by life support. At 5 a.m. we were told there was nothing left to do. So we took her in our arms as the doctors took her off all of the machines and promised us that she was not in any kind of pain. We held our daughter and rocked her until she passed away silently in our arms.
May 12th is such a bitter sweet day for us - in 2005 our son Tommy came into our lives, in 2006 my miracle Rhiannon was sent to heaven at just 9 days old. Every few years, May 12th is on Mothers Day which just enhances my love and loss of that day.
At her funeral, Celine's music played as a sweet reminder of the love and losses we have as parents. It was a beautiful way to honor our angel.
Tomorrow - May 3rd - we celebrate what would have been her 6th birthday. And in just over a week I will celebrate another Mothers Day blessed with all of my children - Tommy who is now 7, Rhiannon who would be 6, and our twins Isabelle & Tyler who are 3 years old and were conceived thru egg donor invitro. Mothers Day is a blessed day indeed.
My mother is the strongest person I know. She is much more than my hero, more than my idol, simply more than a friend, more than a teacher and caregiver. My mother is the queen of my heart. I am yet to learn how one small person can achieve such insurmountable tasks with such distinction as my mother has for the past sixteen years of my existence. For sixteen years my father has been ill with a brain tumour and has suffered three head strokes. Palliative care is all that my mother and I could offer him. Without a doubt, everyday it breaks our heart to see the man that we both love unconditionally suffering, unable to speak and walk. Despite of these circumstances my mother has stood tall; she has shadowed the pain and sorrow for sixteen years in an effort to make our lives worthwhile. She resigned from her favourite career which she faced many childhood advertises to attain, in order to take care of my father and myself. She willingly accepts both motherly and fatherly duties everyday with the biggest smile on her face. Deep down I know that she is bone tired and worn, yet she perseveres with her strong spirit. There is not a day that she has me starving or appearing shabby to the world. Though I refrain from bringing my petty adolescent issues to the forefront of her life, she still desires to support me in all my endeavours. She never misses any of my school or extra-curricular events. Indeed she is my queen. I'm honoured to have been birthed by this angel who "washes away my tears", "drowns my fears" and "fills my soul with joy."
We are sixteen months into motherhood, and words cannot describe the joy and love we feel. After trying, unsuccessfully, to have a biological child, we chose open adoption and our experience has been nothing short of amazing and profound. We adopted our beautiful daughter, Gia Belén, in July 2011, nearly 7 months after her birth, and a year after meeting her courageous birthmother. She was 3 months pregnant when she contacted my partner and I through our adoption agency and from that day, our lives have not been the same. We were blessed to be present when this little girl entered the world and I can tell the world that it does not matter that we did not carry this precious being in our womb, we loved her instantly! She has changed and shaped our world in ways that we never imagined. Though we are more than twice the age of her birthmother, this beautiful young woman has taught us more about integrity, courage and a mother’s love than we can ever express. We are connected now and forever through this beautiful miracle she created and shared with us and eternally grateful. Gia Belén completes our family and fills our lives with more love that I dared dream was possible. She has made us see the beauty in the world and the promise of the future and we look forward to the day she can understand her “story” and know how much we wanted her and how the love of a young woman made it all possible.
This Picture is which my mom keeps it all the time in her purse. She said Im the only one who keep her alive what I know is she has to do a lot of work because she have to pay everything although she just a little teacher from a little school. But the worst thing which let her down is when she knew that I’m a Ladyboy, boy who wants to be like girl. This didn’t mean that she can’t accept but the neighbors, keep yelling and mean to her. So, she always blames me like lady boy is bad because she can’t stand the neighbor’s noise but I think I understand her and I also want to proof that Ladyboy is not a bad thing. So, I said to her with my tear “Im sorry for letting you down but im gonna make you proud”. The 1st thing I thought in my head is Celine Dion, she created a Taking Chances world tour but not come to Thailand, my country and I think I’d like to see her at the same time. This made me try hard to learn English with her’s lyrics and applied to Exchange Student Scholarship… I got it^^ so, I came to Sacramento,CA,USA for exchange and got to see Celine Dion on OCT 14 2008! Also the neighbors, they came to my mom and say “congratulation, for your son” and my mom got a big smile. This is a picture,took with my mom now.
My mom, is my best friend. She has been married, to my dad for almost 28 years and there still in love with each. They make each other laugh. I wish, I will have a marriage just like them one day. My mom, has giving birth to three amazing, and talented kids. I love my mom, I can tell her anything and she will listen. She gives me really good advice, a shoulder to cry on, or just someone to talk to. My mom is my role model, my hero, my friend, and my inspiration. My mom, is a fantastic mother, wife, daughter, sister and Auntie. I know one day my mom will be gone, and I know I will be devastated. But right know, I want to enjoy my relationship with her. like Celine Sings, in her song Goodbye's The Saddest Word." Goodbyes The Saddest Word, I'l ever hear. Goodbyes, the last time I will hold you near. Someday, you will say those words, and I will cry. It will break my heart to hear you say goodbye." I love, my Mom. J'Taime Maman I love you. Hears, to fifty more years.
My story is a little bit different. I have a 17 year old sister who went down the wrong path as some teenagers do, dabbling in drugs and other harmful activities. A few months ago we learned that she was pregnant. That was the wake up call to have her realize that now she not only needed to change for her own well being, but for her own child that was growing within her. My sister, who is still a child herself was forced to evaluate her own life and actions and how they would affect not only those around her, but this child who will one day grow to call her 'Mom.' She has made a complete turn around. Mothers would do anything for their child. Of that I am sure.
Our mother has been our rock and support in everything that we do, and it is with her full support that my sister was assured that she would not walk this journey alone. Our mom is the happiest grandma already. I see it in her eyes, how they light up, how giddy she becomes and I see in that far off gaze that tells me she is thinking a lot about what was, what is and what will be.
My youngest sister and I are already the proudest Aunties you could ever meet. I could stare at the ultrasound pictures for hours, analyzing and doting over every feature and still be amazed that what I am looking at is a still image of a living breathing human being. A human being so tiny, but so perfect in every single way. It is the start of a new life, of a new generation that is growing inside of a girl who has had the courage and strength of a lioness to fight for the betterment of her and her child's life. I am a proud sister and a proud aunt.
Our hearts have been telling all of us that it would be a little boy, but on May 2nd we found out that it will be a baby girl. I think that's her little way of filling our life with surprises right from the start. I can't wait to see what joys, and surprises are in store for us.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. This little village of women we have created is helping to raise this child. A mother is one who nurtures, protects and loves unconditionally. We all play that role, from my mom who is the head protector of the household looking after her daughters and grandbaby, to my sister who will now take on that role. My mom always said,
'When you have children, you will understand not only the joys but worries that mothers go through.' My sister is about to embark on those life experiences herself and she has two sisters who share in the excitement and are ready to walk the journey alongside her.
As one of Celine's song goes.. ' Love is all we need.' This child will never want for love. It's abundant already.
Hello,
I'm a proud mother of 2 grown sons (18 and 20 years old).
)
To me it was a big suprise, back when RC was born, that he was born on my youngest sons birthday, my son was also born through cesarian section, just like RC so from that time on I had something in common with Céline, We both gave birth to a son that way whith the only differance that I did it 7 years earlier.
I am proud of both my boys and I am so glad I was able to have them. Children are a gift of life!
I did not write this before as it is hard to write about a loved one having Alzheimers, and I did notice some one else doing so, but that is not the reason I am doing so now. My mom does have Alzheimers, and at this point is no longer able to care for herself, and neither are we the way she should be taken care of, so she is at a place where she can get that, however I do go every day to feed her, and talk with her and such, she will roam with me through the halls, she eats well, and will stand to transfer. most of the time when she is standing we will stand for several minutes just huging one another, she is always ready with a kiss. Even though she is not there though her mind any more. She still is giving me some life lessions I will always remember, her strength especially, standing up for myself when I need to, right now she can't stand up for herself so I am doing it for her, not to judge people by the way they look, as they may be fat but they can be the most friendiest caring people around, be helpful, caring. always try to do my best, as that is all any one can do. I was not able to have any children of my own, was not in the cards. and now am at the age where am not able to as I am 50 now. I do hope still to adopt some how though as I would love to have some children in my life, I have always wanted children and being a mom. since I was a little girl had always planned to not only have some of my own but to adopt. My mom may be where she is at in her life right now not able to do many things any more. but in many ways she is still a very strong woman, and her strenght she one thing I really admire a lot about her. I very much believe in God and more these days I see God working through my mom giving her the strength to go on, I totally admire her strength. In my eyes my mom will always be a great woman. She is still able to amaze me at time. will doing little things each day when I am there with her. I love her so much. HERE'S TO YOU MOM KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LOVE YOU Thank you Celine for thinking of this, I love reading about all these other womens mom's. I hope you enjoy reading about mine. Happy Mother's day to you as well
hi everybody you can find my 250 words exactly tribute to being a mother and a daughter in the attachment <3
My mom is my everything. I couldn`t live without her. Nobody could love her as much as I do. I`m going to tell her again...but it`s beyond words...I hope she knows it..
Simona
My mother has always been an inspiration to me, I can not imagine my life without her, my mother has taught me early on to be a good person, help others, not to be a selfish person and not to harm others.
My mother was always by my side in bad times, consoling me, drying my tears, calming my fears, advising me as best she can, teaching me not to listen to the people that make me go to a wrong way and above all she taught me to be happy and love me as I am, it was also present at my side in good times, in moments of joy, moments of love, moments of victory, moments that will never be forgotten with time.
She is an idol to me, a diva to me is, like Celine is, my mother is an example of how to be a real human being and good principles, believing in my dreams because one day they will come true, I hope one day to take care of her just as she cared of me during all these years, since I was born until today and even sometimes life is not giving us all when we want, it is fair and if we believe in our dreams, and (as stated Celine) above all believe in ourselves, we realized our dreams, mother, you become a baby in a guy, and I'm everything I am, BECAUSE YOU lOVED ME, I LOVE YOU MOTHER!
My Mother is not a Mother, and for that, I'm not happy.
Has my Mother cared for me, and protected me, and would she do anything and anything for me?
Oh, no, not at all.
When I was born, on the tenth of August, 1992, My Mother has always said to me, and still says the following statement.
"Heidi, my child, what a mistake we made to have you. Your Father, Brother, and I have made the mistake to bring such an ugly little girl into this world.
If we could put you up for adoption, we would do it in a hart beat, but now, here I am, back in Europe with a family who doesn't love me at all.
I wish Celine was my Mother.
She's nothing like my Mother who always hates me no matter what I try to do for her.
She will always be the one who will protect me, to care for me, to love me, to be thair when I'm scared, to help me through the bad times, and to be proud of me no matter what I do for her.
She's always thair for me and I know that Celine loves me for everything I do.
Someday, I wish to meet her, and tell her my story.
Okay, to all the Mothers out thair, I'm glad you love your childrin.
to all the people who love thair mothers, I'm glad they love you back.
To celine?
Please let me be in your life and I love you forever.
You are a Mother to me, and for that, I could not wish for anything more beautiful.
I love you, and when we meet, I have so many gifts for you, but the gift I want to give to you now is all my dreams and wishes of becomming a singer, and I am also giving you all my love.
My Mother meant the WORLD to me. I lost her to cancer almost 14 years ago, but not a day goes by that she is not thought of and missed. My "Mama" was always there for me, to talk to, to support me, to help me in my everyday life. The battle that she faced fighting cancer; well it just made me see what a strong woman my "Mama" was.
If you are lucky enough to still have your Mother, please hug her and let her know each and everyday how much she means to you. I would give anything to be able to hug my Mom and to talk to her about my day again. She is so missed, she is so loved and I know that my "Mama" is still with me, supporting me and always loving me.
Thank you "Mama" for being the best Mother in the world.
I love you!
May 7, 1983 I gave birth to twins born at 28 weeks gestation. With a 10% chance of survival rate they are now 29 years old. They weighed 1lb, 10 oz and 2lb, 1oz and were 12" and 13" long. They were the first surviving twins born at St Lukes Hospital in Kansas City MO. I was told that I could not have children, God blessed me with these gifts. I named them Sheila and Shelli. With such a tough beginning they are healthy, beautiful, smart and have accomplished so much. These were the only children my husband and I have had. We are so proud of them and love them so much. They are celebrating their 29th birthday today (May 7, 2012).
I'm so happy to have Celine as a loving Mother.
Well, she didn't have me in her belly, but every day, I'm thankful that she is my Mother because my real Mother is not a real Mother at all.
She's never loved me at all, and she always had a love for every one in the family but me, and nobody else in my family loves me as well.
The only people in my family who think I'm beautiful are my two Cousins from sweden, but I don't get to see them that much.
Well, they are actually from Iran, but now they live in Sweden.
They, along with Celine are the only people who I consitter family to me, and with out them, I don't know what I would do at all.
These three ladies are so special to me, and they inspired me always, and they will never stop inspiring me, especially Celine.
She's the one who is there for me when ever they are not, and she's always been there for me even if they were.
Plus, I didn't get to meet them until I was 12 years old, so Celine is the only one who has been there for me ever since I was born.
Even though I don't know her in person, and she doesn't know me in person, we still feel closer to eachother when ever I put up videos of me singing to her songs, and when ever I listen to her music.
I had the beautiful oportunity to go and listen to her during her "Taking chances world tour," and that was amazing for me because it brot us closer to eachother, but if I got to meet her that day, wich I didn't get to do, it wouldn't have even brot us just as close.
The sad thing about the concert was that I couldn't hear a thing, I was all the way in the back of the room, and on top of that, I couldn't see a thing, and even if I got to move up into the front row, it wouldn't make a differance at all because I'm blind.
Anyway, to me, she's my Mother and I feel like i'm her child, and I'm proud of it.
I am making a tribute to her this Saturday at a little little bar we have here in Germany, and I hope she hears it.
So, wish me luck.
You will see the performance later, but the name of the post is called, "My tribute to Celine Dion," but I will not put it up on this forum topic.
I will put it on the off topic forum topic.
Anyway, I really want to meet my Mother to be because she has done so much for me in my life.
From a very young age, I was always told that I was adopted. I didn't think much of it when I was little all I know is that my birth mother loved me so much but she couldn't take care of me so she chose to give me a better life by putting me up for adoption. I was adopted by a wonderful couple in Texas but as I got older, especially in High School I always wondered about my birth mother, what was she like? did I look like her? Did she think of me?
Fast forward to 1999 I get a call out of the blue from someone saying she was my birth sister. Now being told I didn't have any birth siblings i was shocked. My adoptive mother told me she didn't tell me about her for fear something happened to her. I got a name from my birth sister of my birth mother's name Donna. I called the number she gave me, I was so nervous calling!!!
Donna and I talked for hours! she told me I had a step father named Jim. As fate would have it, my work took me to near where she lived and Jim and her came to meet me, I was so nervous!! but as I left that meeting she said I would like to see you again. Fate would have a hand in it again as in 2001 I had my own child a little girl and needed to fly home for a visit in early 2002. My flight had a layover of an hour where Donna & Jim lived, they came to meet my little girl and I at the airport.
What a time we had, catching up and sharing stories. I always cherish this picture as it is my birth mother, me and my little girl at two months old.
Donna has since passed, in late 2010. I never got to see her again, she died less than two months after my step-father Jim. I would say she died of a broken heart as she loved him very much and they spent all their time together. I was greatful that I got the chance to meet both of them and to share in some moments with them before they left this Earth way to soon.
I was blessed with two mothers. Who now are both in Heaven I have been so loved in my life and was so greatful to have a beautiful woman love me so much to give me up for adoption to have a better life, and a mother who loved me in her heart enough to take care of me and raise me right!

Stories of Motherhood 2012
My Story is different than the others.
I was raised by my grandmother.
She took me under her wing.
Taught me everything.
She helped me overcome, fear, insecurity and even disability
No matter what she believes in me?
She helps me to be the best I can be.
She truly is a Grand Mother to me.
Happy Mother's Day Mom
I Love you!
My mother is one of the people that I look up to. She is an inspiration to me because she works really hard every single day so that we can have food on our dishes and clothes to wear.
She is one of the most hardworking people I know and that's why I wanted to pay this tribute to her as she is also a Celine Dion fan.
My advice to all Celine fans would be to enjoy your time with your mother because it's priceless, and you should enjoy it before you leave her home and don't spend as much time with her as before.
My mother is a very brave woman. Not only for having me and trated me so well for all these years (15 to be precise). My brother has a desease that is very rare and we had a lot of difficulties to find out at the beginning what my brother has. On next July, we will try the cure for this desease by doing a bone marrow transplant and I'm the downer. If it wasn't for my mother, I don't know what my brother and I would do, because her strength carried us untill now, and my brother would probably not be here today to try a cure if it wasn't for my mother. So, thanks mom for your support and your love. I don't know what would I do if you weren't here to help me carry on. Love you.
Here's me singing: Because You Loved Me as a tribute to my mother (:

My name is Maria Gabriella Soares, I'm 15 years old and I'm from Brazil. Celine Dion is my idol and I'm going to see her performance in Vegas in June and I wish I could meet her backstage with my mom and my brother. It would be amazing.
