Happy Mother's Day to all you ladies out there who are a mother in any way. Just because you do not have a child does not mean you are not a 'mother' to someone. As a nurse, Clara Barton was a mother to those wounded and dying on the battle field. Teachers can be a 'mother' to the students in their class.

I had a wonderful Mother's Day last Sunday. The weather was lovely. The azaleas were in full bloom and smelled wonderful. I sat outside and enjoyed the breeze and sun for quite a while. I watched Morgan play and dreamed that I had a quarter of his energy. Finally I managed to catch up with him and get him to stop for a picture with his mom. He winked at the camera and then it was back out to play in the yard. He played as hard as he could before we had to go home.

I missed being with my Mom again this Mother's Day. I have not seen her on Mother's Day since I became a mom myself. But I called her where she was visiting my sister in LA (the state, not the city) and wished her a very happy day. With 9 daughters, she gets lots of calls on Mother's Day. I will be visiting her on Saturday, so that will have to take the place of Mother's Day.
