Happy Mother's Day
If you go to the Bing front page today (and you should because the picture is great), one of the quotes they list is from Oprah, who says, "Biology is the least of what makes one a mother." I have to agree. My wife and daughter are both mother to three of our grandkids just as much as their birth mothers are. Maybe more. Happy Mother's Day, Sharleen and Tina.
And happy Mothers' Day to all of you mothers out there. The ones who take on foster children who would otherwise be lost in the system. The ones who gladly shoulder the burden of raising grandkids or nieces and nephews for whatever reason. The ones who sit outside at a Starbucks watching the crowd go by and wondering, is that the child I had to give up for adoption when I was too young to handle motherhood? And yes, to those dads who are mother to their kids as well because their wife is no longer there. And of course to all the traditional mothers who are doing the best they can with the tools they have at hand to raise kids that are happy, healthy and well-adjusted.
