Excerpts from the Tears of Joy, Tears of Frustration Exhibition for International Women's Day 2006
"You never realise you could love so much until you have a baby" - mother from the Spanish-speaking Mothers Group
"My picture has a knitted hat. I knitted hats just like this for all of them. In our country there is a saying that grandchildren are much more loved than the children." Bosa, Macedonian Women's Group
"It's the whole love makes a family thing, and some of the words that relate to us as a family - there's never enough time to write all the words." Bethia, Western Area Lesbian Littlies and Infants Playgroup
"That's my grandson, he's 10 years old and he plays soccer. That's my 18 year old grandson, he plays the guitar and my 13 year old plays drums. I've got love hearts aroundcos I love them so much". Ivy, Horizons Women's Group
"I went with what Robyn and I wanted for Jordan - to be a strong, independent person and the idea of a dream world - all the things that our lives have become. The love and beautiful things that Jordan has brought to our lives. Lisa, Western Area Lesbian Littlies and Infants Playgroup
"I have drawn this picture of my house where my granddaughter comes." Lila, Macedonian Women's Group
"I love being a mum. I was born to be a mum. I especially love babies. But then they grow up!" Kathy, Melton South Single Mums Lunch Group
"Mine expresses the love I feel for my children - today! Tomorrow it might be a dark cloud and feeling like I'm at the bottom of the ocean, but today it's sweetness and light." Brooke, Melton Young, Pregnant and Parenting Group
