Happy Mother's Day!

Happy mother's day to all the mothers out there! Like an aging wine, my gratitude to my mother (and my father) takes on new flavors and characteristics each year. They have supported me, taught me, nurtured me, and loved me, and it seems so inadequate to acknowledge it only once a year. But here it is. Happy mother's day. As more of my friends become parents, this is taking on a different feeling for me. I'm so proud of them as they explore this new stage of life. I also think of the women laboring and delivering today. I spent nearly the entire day in the hospital, but not on L&D. So many ways mothers should be honored.
