If it were my mom, I'd start off by thanking her for giving me life, and for the many years of toil and sacrafice.  I'd tell her what an inspiration she has been to me and that she has always been the wind beneath my wings.

If nobody learned it - it would be lost in only one generation.  Then nobody could benefit from past experiences, good or bad.

You have a rare gift & I hope you have the help & support of others in your life.  These children are the true essence of what love & trust should be for all humans.  They are by far, the best judge of character of any humans I have encountered in my 53 years on this planet!  I helped raise a neighbors son for 5 years, until he turned 10 & she put him in an institution because the state agencies recomended it in the 1960's.  Everything he learned was discouraged, and he was reduced to a slobering imbecile.  When I would go on visits, he remembered that I had never mistreated him, and this made the nurses so upset they restricted his visits to his mother only.  His older brother and I treated him as any other child and he responded to us in a way that was frowned upon and not acceptable in that era.  We moved and lost contact with this family and I do not know what ever became of my friend.  They said he could never hold a spoon or feed himself, or dress himself.  They were wrong!  He just learned differently, and it took a lot of time and patience, as well as routine and repitition.  But most of all, it took lots of cleaning up and thinking up new ways to go about the things most "normal" people take for granted.  MOST IMPORTANT IS KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!(no hitting) One act of anger can take months, or years to heal on their part.  These are extremely sensitive beings and can be the first one to alert you to another persons (or animals) ill intentions.  They have the ability to judge character and intent on an immediate need basis without regard to another persons feelings.  They are stubborn beyond belief because they have to be to survive. They are extremely loving individuals and have memories for people, places and things that are astounding.  Once I was grocery shopping and a group was on an outing, and as I walked past the group, an adult suddenly held out her arms and rushed towards me as if we were old friends or close family! I figured it was ok to respond in the same manner, and the group leader almost had a cardiac arrest in the aisle.  She later told me that I looked a lot like the girls aunt and apoligized and thanked me for being so understanding.  She was concerned that I might file a lawsuit and it was then that I realized just how little some things had changed, and how much others had!  I would choose to be hugged by a person who has no hidden agenda, rather than the person who does.  You are not alone & I wish you all the best in life.

Books, and my grandparents they were awesome. My parents were worthless too, kinda still are. I learned most things by observing others and through my friends.

I would take my kids out of school and be with them as much as I possibly could doing things and talking about things that I would not have the chance to do or they would not have the chance to do later. I would take them to places they have not been, hug them even more, make sure they knew how much I loved them. I would make sure their future is as secure as I could possibly make it.

The most useful thing I was ever told was from my father... it was "Son, Worry about the things you CAN change... don't worry about  the things you CAN'T"... \nI can't think of any bad advise... both mom and dad usually gave me the best advise there was to give... although... I didn't listen most of the time... :D

My grandfather.  When my brother and I were little, we got into a fight.  My grandfather told me to keep hitting my brother until it made me happy.  it never did.  That taught me a lesson I will never forget...\n\nAnd if you think about it just a little, it's true on a global scale also.\n\nPeace!

My mother, because she fought for 6 months to stay alive and finally lost her fight but, not before she showed me truly what courage and strength that she had and made me learn how to have courage and strength after her passing to go on to live without her, she was my best friend and I miss her very much. She taught me so much about life and my hope is that I do half as good of a job with my own children. She taught me never to give up and keep at it and you will find a way to get any situation dealt with.she was the best, and she reminded me that you truly don't realize what you have until it is gone. Life is truly a precious Gift!
