2. What is a Mother? A mother is someone who guides and inspires. She helps us to attain our dreams and desires. Wisdom and insight are part of her way, and her faith in her children brightens their days.

You see, this Tom had invented the light bulb — and not only that, but motion pictures and the record player. In all, Thomas Edison had more than one thousand patents to his credit. A partially deaf boy came home from school one day carrying a note from officials at the school. The note suggested that the parents take the boy out of school, claiming that he was "too stupid to learn." My mother was the making of me. — Thomas A. Edison (1847-1931)
