Motherhood Special

Hello Mothercare,
Attached with this email is a photograph of my mother with my sonJames. This photo was taken when James was 12 hours old.
My mother was a great support to me during the birth of my son. No,she wasn't in the delivery suite with me. No, she didn't getoverexcited and harass the midwives and camp outside the labour room.Instead, she remained as always a mother - always giving, alwaysgentle, always generous, always kind. She brought breakfast, lunch anddinner for my husband so that he wouldn't have to leave my side duringthe labour. She shooed away well-meaning relatives who wanted to visitso that I could have some rest after the birth. She washed all thebaby linen and made up his cot so that it would all be ready for whenwe took him home. She stocked up her larder with red dates and chickenessence and researched confinement recipes. And she did a millionother little things that I probably didn't even notice.
And now with the birth of my son, I look at him and I finallyunderstand how much my mother loves me.
Thanks
Mrs Deborah Gifford (Dr Deborah Lee)
