I am a happy mother of three sons,
Roger, born in 1965, Kenth, born 
in 1967, and John, born in 1987.
They are three very individual personalities,
and each one of them makes me so happy!

´I t seems like just 
a little while ago 
you raised your tiny head 
and smiled at me 
for the first time 
and I smiled back with tears 
I loved you so much then 
Though you are older now 
living your dreams 
pursuing your own goals 
I still look at your beautiful smile 
to know that things are all right with you 
and I am so very proud of you 
and I love you even more now´

~The Cookie Jar~
"A house should have a cookie jar
for when it's half past three,
And children hurry home from school
as hungry as can be.
There's nothing quite so splendid
in filling children up,
as spicy fluffy ginger cakes
and sweet milk in a cup.

A house should have a mother
waiting with a hug,
no matter what a boy brings home,
a puppy or a bug.
For children only loiter when
the bell rings to dismiss,
if no one's home to greet them
with a cookie and a kiss."
