Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My grandmother's 95th birthday is coming up. Due to her health, this may very well be her last. I made her a photobook from Snapfish last year that she raves about almost every time we speak, so I would like to make her another one for her birthday. It will be 99% pictures of our children, who she does not get to see very often (we live several hours away).

I would love to put a short quote in the front about family - importance of family, how in the end it's all that matters, or something else appropriate like that. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss! TIA!

I found this, which fulfills the "short" requirement, if nothing else!   

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu

Mother Theresa is always good for wonderful quotes.

I made one of those books for my mom and sister with pics from our recent trip out to San Diego. I used this quote from Mother Theresa, "To say there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers."

What was funny was when I "googled" it to make sure I got the quote correct the first hit was Elizabeth's blog.
