mothers of all types

i gave my children's sermon this morning about a 'mother in faith' in my life, which got me thinking about my mother, all the other mothers who have loved me, and the women who loved me as family.   i am thankful for them all, as i welcome another mother's day with my own child.  i carry pieces of them all with me, and they have influenced me in ways large and small.


so thank you all for the love, nurture, and support.  my life would not be the same without you.  it is my solemn wish that all children would be so lucky.  


so say we all.
