Labor of Love
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the respect of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the portrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, by a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
This pendant is to be worn as a reminder that every stage raising a child is important.
Be strong, be courageous. What a mother must keep her eyes on is the labor of love that it takes to bring a child from birth, childhood unto adulthood. Although it is very challenging, it will be the most rewarding work you do.
For one day you will look into the eyes of your child and see a reflection of the time you put in them.
Enjoy the journey!
