I watched my beautiful daughter and her handsome husband graduate from college this weekend. Smart, young, enthusiastic, they have their best days in front of them. I had the honor of meeting her art professor who recently returned from working on a ceiling at the Louvre. Professor Crawford was leaving immediately for Italy to host her own art show there. When we were introduced, she teared up, shook her head, and hugged me saying, “Thank you so much,(for your daughter)” and then she waved her hand in front of her face to fan away the tears. She had already said that she couldn’t bring herself to say goodby to her. That was a precious gift to me.
Then we went to view my daughter’s senior art show. I hadn’t seen her art nor knew what her subject was. It was horse physiology. She created a 6 foot tall wire representation of horse hindquarter musculature, lighted with a side flood light, mounted on a board. The founders of the university were very impressed.
She also had a block print of a horse skull, and another block print of the circulatory system of the horse. We were stunned and amazed that our daughter had done something so innovative and evocative. Another piece was a 4ft wood block with a wire representation of a horse leg mounted to the side. Etched into the block were the 10 names of the various parts of the leg. People found it very compelling.
Whoopi……. you’re the greatest! Thanks for all your humor! By the way …………………….
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO YOU TOO!
P.S. All forms of life require water to survive …………For me, I absolutely must have humor in my daily diet. It’s essential when attempting to digest all of life’s unexpected twists and turns!
Whoopie,
Muchas gracias for this cute video. I have sent it to my own mother and several other friends who are moms. So endearing. THANKS for filming it for us and making it possible for us to transmit it. :)
Whoopi - You’ve been making me smile and laugh for the longest! Thank you! Thank you! for doing it again. And Happy Mother’s Day to you from another Mom (of 5) and Grandma (of 12) who’s ROFLMAO right this minute!
THAT WAS A SWEET VIDEO! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO YOU TOO
My Mother died last year and I miss her more than I ever, ever imaged (dad is mortician so I have been around death and am also an ICU nurse) but losing Mom well boy-o-boy. So if you have a Mom give her an extra long hug and if you don’t, remember the days when you did.
Karen….am so sorry for your loss. I still have my mother and can find it hard to breathe just thinking of her not being here. But as a mother, also know that your mother is still with you in spirit anyway. And let’s hope that smarty Shakespeare was right and they’ve just stepped behind the veil…and that we do meet again in some form. All best.
Karen, my sympathy in the loss of your mother. I lost my mother many years ago and I love her and miss her still. Only one mother to hold precious and dear.
Dear Whoopi—Thank you for the witty vid….always a pleasure to see you in ANY forum.
And thanks for the Disneyland tip, but I live in San Francisco, an E-ticket ride and then some ;) And a very Happy Mother’s Day to you, too. All best.
Hey Whoopi and all - the second best day to go to Disneyland is Superbowl Sunday…have a happy Mother’s Day everyone!
Mother’s Day is so special to me. I became a mother with
my first child on mother’s day 35 years ago.
Whoppi you are the best, thanks and have a good mother’s day
to all of the wow staff and commentors.
Thanks Whoopi! I’m leaving for Disneyworld today, it’s free right?
Oh… well. Thanks anyway.
May you and the mothers of WOWoWOW enjoy a beautiful Mother’s Day with your family.
Ms. Goldberg-How thoughtful of you to do this. It’s just so cute. I sent it to my daughter. May I wish you and all the moms here a very happy mother’s day. It’s a hard job but God sure knew who to give the job to didn’t He. God bless us mothers everywhere.
Hi Whoopi,
I am a big fan of you, and I just want to say thank you for this mother’s day comment.
Been a mother is the best part of my life, I love my boys(2)
Happy Mother’s Day to you, and all the mothers whom enjoy it! Leda
