To All The Mothers

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms. You do the best, most important job in the world. Many of you extend your mothering to neighborhood kids, adopt other children and are the only positive role mother countless children have via church, Scouting, 4-H, sports, school groups, as a teacher and in any other capacity in which you connect with the world. My own childhood was not an Ozzie and Harriet scene but I found mothers, none-the-less. My high school English teacher, my grandma, my 4-H leader, my favorite aunt and today my elderly friend back in Michigan. Only the last two are still here and I'm so grateful I've had them in my life because everyone needs their mother - even at age 59.
