I recently went through my old autograph book. It was a present for my tenth birthday. This book is 53 years old. I can still read the messages people wrote in it. Since today is Mother's Day, I thought I would share what our mom had to say. It is advice she probably gave to each of us at one time or another.
My dear daughter,
After all these years I have decided to write a few lines.
Be Patient, Be Kind.
Have a smile on your lips
a pleasant word for your fellow man.
Give a helping hand,
you will always be remembered and loved.
your Mother
I treasure these lines Mother wrote. I hope this Mother's Day is lovely for all my Fiddler Kin.

Thanks for sharing this lovely advice from your mother, Honor. I'm glad you saved your autograph book, and I'm glad you shared these words with us.
I remember reading an autograph book of my mom's, and I believe Sharon or Carol or Margaret had this to say to their older sister:
When you grow old
And live in a shoe
Write me a letter
As big as your BUTT!!
Touching, right? :-) That's some good stuff right there.
I have some good stuff in my autograph book too. It is stuff my sisters wrote to me. I will share it on the blog one of these days. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for responding to my post.
You're funny katie. I'm sure I didn't write that poem and your moms butt isn't very big so it would be a pretty short letter. This must be from high school days. We wrote stuff like that back then.
Yes, I would very much like to see what your sisters wrote in you autograph book, Honor. Yours too, Carol!
And, Mom, why don't you send us all a letter on the blog. Make sure it's as big as your butt. :-)
