On Motherhood

What a sad time this must be for those who have no children. Here it is mother's day, and no cards, no flowers, no dinner out. Is it right that we celebrate mother's day? What is it really? A celebration of successful procreation? Or is it really more - Is it a celebration of the person who nurtured us and helped us cope with growing up in a messy world. Is it really necessary that the child came from your womb - I don't think so. Many children are helped through growing up by others who have cared for them as much as a natal mother.  Personally, I will never forget my mother, as she influenced a huge portion of my life, and even though she is no longer among us, I still love her and miss her dearly. Happy Mother's Day Mom.
