Eve, in my mental dictionary, "self-sacrificing" is what comes up when I look up Mother. A beautiful write, congrats ~ John

this is how my grandchild acts when I come to pick him up. I had him for 7 months and he makes me feel like the sun beaming , the first look of fresh snow falling , I feel wanted and loved :)
