Honor your father and your mother...
Exodus 20:12a
Today is Mother's Day in the United States - a day set aside to honor the women who have given their endless energy and enthusiasm to raising their children. I actually celebrated yesterday, when my two youngest girls drove down from DC to take me to lunch at O'Charley's, then the Fedex truck arrived with two dozen roses, chocolates, and bath goodies from my oldest daughter. Great day!
Being a mother is the most important thing I have ever done in my life. My three daughters have brought me so much joy, love, irritation, anger, compassion, hope and despair. They have loved me unceasingly, and then ripped my heart to pieces. I have been convinced, at one point or another, that they would never amount to a hill of beans, and now they are accomplished adult women: teacher, auditor, lawyer. I could not be prouder of my girls - they are the center of my world.
