hugs velogirl. i do know how it is. my mom's birthday is the 11th and she passed away 23 years ago on the 25th. her birthday usually falls on mother's day. i always sit for a moment and think of her today. i was only 3 at the time but have some good memories.

Happy Mother's Day to you all. Even if your not a traditional mom, but it counts like jenn said, if you have fur babies, real babies or just babysat when you were younger, you appreciate the hard work that Mother's day celebrates.
