MOTHER'S DAY - I remember momma!

Michelle Malkin posted this really heart rending piece about a mother who thought of others before herself ...

A mother who died from breast cancer is helping to bring up her daughter - with a manual of advice she had written in the final stages of her illness. Helen Harcombe, from Porth in the Rhondda, left instructions for raising seven-year-old Ffion. It includes advice for husband Anthony on everything from school uniforms, hair, Christmas presents and bedding. Mrs Harcombe's mother Diane Raybould said the three-page list brought the spirit of her daughter back.

Mrs Harcombe, who was 28, died shortly after Christmas 2004. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, nine months after finding a lump in her right breast.

The Apostle Paul wrote these words to give the world mothers like this young mommy.

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. [Philippians 2:3, 4]
