Mother's Day 2006

There is no one else like a mother. Being the vessel that grows and brings forth life into our world is a most amazing thing. My mother raised me and gave me the skills to make my way on my own, which is a serious task indeed. Toiling day after day to ensure I had what was required to maintain my health and develop my abilities. My mother's tasking was never over, after I grew to adulthood and left home, she took a job and essentially adopted her younger co-workers. Thus she was Grandma to many of them. I lost my mother a year and a half ago. The only regret I truly have is that my job often took me away for lengthy periods of time and I wish I had chosen another means to make a living. That would have allowed more time as an adult to spend with her. Anyway, I hope my mother is doing well where she is and I miss her terribly. Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
