To the Moms!

As we near the end of another Mother's Day, let's ignore the greeting card aspects and remember that moms deserve their day anyway. So happy Mother's Day to all the moms, stepmoms, grandmoms, big sisters who act like moms, aunts and great-aunts so close they could be moms, mom's best friend who's like a mom to us--you get the picture. Especially my mom, who's the greatest. And my mother-in-law, no slouch either. She raised a bunch of fine kids--the best being my husband, of course.

And here's to all you kids who make it possible to call ourselves moms, stepmoms, grandmoms, etc. Especially my kid, who's the greatest.

Forget the weather--hope you had a wonderful day! And forget the calendar, too--remember that it's okay to treat the wonderful women in your life as if every day were Mother's Day.
