On A Mother's Day Message: Wise Words from Anna Quindlen
Posted on May 7 at 9:07 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
That brought tears to my eyes. As a parent of young children, I hope to listen to her advice and live more in the moment. As she stated, it's too easy to get caught up in the everyday tasks of life. As a result of reading this blog, I will get out the camcorder and try to capture as many daily moments as possible. Thank you, Dana!

It seems like the true message behind the story has been missed. "Because we are mothers, though, we should be continually trying to better ourselves... But more to the point here: treat others as you’d like your children to do. The mommy’s Golden Rule." How can anyone argue with that message? It's easy to forget about the influence we have on our children every day. Thank you for making me rethink how I act around my children to make sure that I'm always striving to be the best mom that I can be.
Dana, you and I are close friends. We met through the moms club that you discussed in your blog. Our daughters are also best friends. I expect that our second daughters will be as well! I want everyone to know that I have become a better mom as a direct result of watching and learning from you. Not many people can say that they have impacted someone else on that level. Parenting is your true calling.
I think my ending comment will sum it up. You stated "I remember my mom and her style of parenting with fondness. She was warm, loving, self-sacrificing, positive, and patient-- nothing short of angelic." That's *exactly* how I would explain your parenting style. I think that speaks volumes about the message you were trying to get across in this blog.

Frusion, are you changing the subject? This article and my comments are about PETA, not me personally. I will no longer reply to negative comments unless they are intelligent, factual, and fair. Nobody and no organization is perfect. If you are the type to focus on a few blemishes instead of seeing the big picture, then look at yourself in the mirror first.

Spark, one more for you:

I suppose Greenpeace and Mothers Against Drunk Driving are also deserving of the CCF's opposition? Please only reply with negative comments about PETA if you can back them up with facts. Real facts. If you were fair, you'd also research PETA further and give them their deserved credit.

Spark, you're a joke. Get your research correct next time. Or do you always believe everything that you google?

It's plainly obvious that none of you who have commented have done your research on PETA. Please don't bash an organization unless you actually know about them. Here's a start:

Dana, your blogs will be sorely missed! Thank you for taking the time to invite all of us into your life and sharing your parenting experiences with this community. You have deserved every positive comment that was written about you, and none of the others. Not many moms would have the courage to be so open about parenthood, and I applaud you for that.
You are always considering the children around you (and not just your own) before you do or say anything in front of them. I've often wondered if that is a constant effort on your part, or if it just comes naturally to you. It's remarkable to witness on a daily basis, as I have the pleasure of doing. Your devotion to children is one of your many gifts. I wish you all the best on your other prominent gift... writing.
Love you dearly, my friend!!!
