Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day has always been a bit tricky for me. I miss my mom, and the day always slams me in the face with the fact that I have not yet gotten to be a mom. I've spent many a Mother's Day sad, angry, resentful, envious or just plain refusing to acknowledge the day. Sigh.

But there are many kinds of mothers out there, many people who have done motherly things for me, and many opportunities, I hope, for me to do the same.

So, Happy Mother's Day, everyone, to mothers present, mothers we've loved and lost, mothers of others we know, mothers in waiting, and friends who have filled the mother voids.
