When Our Children Are Grown
 | Some things never change. The four seasons. The four directions. The hands on the clock. The rising of the sun and the moonlight in the trees. Mothers are here forever. Their children will always be their children...

It's clear our Mel gets wisdom with age.

My daughter is 32 and I still remember her in the buggy as I walked her every day. Now the walking is in my heart too as she lives in BC and I live in Ontario.
Well written

What a beautiful article you have written, Melody!!! It captures the true essence of mothhood as only a mother could know!!!! Thank you for such a magnificent piece; what a gifted writer you are!
|
I totally agree with you in every word written, and I´ll try to capture every second on my kid's life, in order to feel as hapy and complete.... thanks for the inspiration!

I feel that I know you Melody, as sister Freda had always kept me up to date about you, your writings and I find this article on Motherhood so truly beautiful and heartwarming. I adore my two sons, one 50 and the other 49, but they wll always be my babies. This year's Mother's Day card written on behlalf on my two sons read: "Darling Mum - we want to thank you for your love , guidance and encouragement and we hope you know the very special place you will always have in our lives and in our hearts We love you so much" Clive and Gary.
The Jewels in our life is our children -

What a lovely article. My children are grown up, living away from home and, I am proud to say, all working. However, your article reiterates how a mother feels no matter how old her children!
|
Thanks Melody for putting into words so beautifully what is truly important in life... the gift of our children
|
What about fathers, we feel the same, we think the same, we love the same. Hey in today world it is discrimination not to mention us, the fathers. I'm joking of course. But i could sign my name after every word you said. Thank you. What a wonderful piece.

From the writer : )
Oh dear..
I would never consciously discount the crucial importance of having a child having father's love and caring. It seems I just let it "pass" because I focused on the "female" aspect of this subject; given the title of the website.
I apologize...and I am so glad you spoke up to remind us that Jewish women/mothers are only one half of the complete Jewish identity.
Thank you again, Mr. Anon Y Mous.
Shalom and Good Shabbos.

Having been through a rough year with our daughter, reading this brought tears to my eyes. No matter what separates mothers from their children, they are still your children and you worry about them. I enjoyed the part where you described the "smells"...yes, I can still bring back the smell of baby powder, the musty duffle bags, the light scent of my daughter's room. This was especially touching and I so thank you for writing this for my heart.

There is no one
like a father...
to care
so completely,
give so quietly,
teach so gently,
and to love
so deeply.

Melody... you are gifted, and by that I mean you have a way of opening yourself up to receive inspiration and then you pass it on to others so beautifully. May we all find a way to do the same. Thank-you.
