Here are the beautiful winning words Lija Arthur wrote about her Mother's Group: "One of the best things in life is our mothers group friends. We have grown to care for our own as well as each others bubs. We share our fears, crises, stories of poo, laughter and love. We support each other on broad shoulders and warm hearts. On a regular basis we can depend on each other to listen with care and lift our spirits when feeling sick or depressed. In a community where one often doesn't know your neighbours and where help in the form of family may be far away. I can depend on the sisters I never had. My children enjoy the security of a park filled with friendly faces. They can learn to share and not to pull hair. It's nearing the time for our first birthday party. This year has literally screamed past in the blink of an eye. Although many have to return to work, the friendships we've made will endure. I hope we will one day celebrate their 21st birthdays and congratulate each Mother for a job well done and reflect upon the pieces of each other we can see in the characters of our young." |
