(This is one of the most beautiful stories about mothers love. It was
written for Good Housekeeping Magazine in 1933 by Temple Bailey. This is
a story we should all read once in a while so we remember to respect
our mothers for their love and guidance. )
Dedicated to all mothers.

| Dear Suma Bhabi with her lovely child. |
"Is this the long way?" asked the young mother as she set her foot on the path of life. And the Guide said:
"Yes, and the way is hard, and you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning."
The young mother was happy, and she would not believe that
anything could be better than these years. So she played with her
children, she fed them and bathed them, taught them how to tie their
shoes and ride a bike, and reminded them to feed the dog and do their
homework and brush their teeth. The sun shone on them and the young
mother cried,
"Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."
