Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother’s Day. For today, let’s not discuss the high school vote, Charter reform, the superintendent’s issues, or the municipal election. It’s Mother’s Day! I know it doesn’t feel like Mother’s Day; it is cold and dreary - and not sunny at all, but today we pay tribute to love, wisdom and sacrifice of the women in our lives who either are our mothers, or the women by virtue of marriage, kinship or affection, became our mothers. These “women of substance” made us who we are. Like it or not, their wit and ways are knit into the very essence of our souls. Who amongst us hasn’t stopped and said, “Oh my God, I sound like my mother (grandmother, aunt, etc.)! We love them - and they love(d) us. We are blessed by their devotion and strength in so many ways.
Feel free to post your thoughts about the special women in your life.
Happy Mother’s Day, all!
