“What I love most about being a mother: The intensity of your LOVE for each child is overwhelming; while there are days you wish they lived on another planet and there are days when you hear your own words come back to you with a shock, but whether they are a day old or 64 as my eldest will be tomorrow, a big hug and kiss from them is worth all the gold in the world.” Kay Carlucci.
