~ Mary Caroline Neu Middaugh ... And A Special Recognition ~

~~~~~ A "SPECIAL" RECOGNITION ~~~~~

There are parents & there are 'special parents'. A lovely lady inspired me to THANK all the wonderful loving women (& men) who are childless whether by choice or because God had a special path for them in life ... BUT ... give selflessly to children who may, or may not, have an empty spot in their little lives. The joy their gentle touch & hug, soft words, flowing love brings to a child, can be life changing.

Children are like rosebuds, they bloom with love & tender care.

God gave special blessings to these precious folks who share their love selflessly leaving memories that these children will carry throughout life.

Thank you & Happy Mother's Day to each of you.

THANK YOU, Mother, for all you so selflessly gave to each of us 5 kids ... you were my friend & I loved you above all else. I miss you terribly still.

And, the rosebuds & blessings that God allowed me to have to love ... our children.
