American Mothers With Real Modern-day Heroes!

Thank you, California American Mothers, for allowing us to listen and learn from two real, modern day super heroes! Tim Ballard www.ourrescure.org and Elizabeth Smart! The best quote or advice of the weekend for me was given to Elizabeth Smart by her Mother the day after she had been rescued. "Elizabeth… your captors took nine months of your life from you. You will never get it back but the best thing you can do is not give them another day of your life!" What great advice for all of us. Look forward after going through adversity. Never let the bad that has happened ruin our present and future.

"Mother's Day is not a day where every woman who has given birth should be treated special. It is a day where every mother figure—nanny, caretaker, nurturer, grandmother, aunt, or even older cousin are recognized for the wonderful job they do in influencing us to become who we are today. Mothers teach us how to love, cherish, and respect who we are, and what it takes for us to become the adults we will one day be."
