To **all** DU mothers
Happy Mothers Day.

My own mother is gone, but no less loved.

To each of you, thank you.

Thank you for enduring what it took to give us life.

Thank you for being the one who loved us without reservation.

Thank you for your leonine ferocity in protecting us when we were small and helpless. And even when we were all grown, but still stupid.

Thank you for smacking us - hard - when we went astray.

Thank you for not telling Dad about .... 'that'.

Thank you for all that you do for us and always so selflessly.

I love you, Mom.

All of you.

Happy Mothers Day from a man who stands before you in gratitude, love, and awe.



... and a special note of love to my wife. Your kid and my kids love you.

14. Thank you!
This will be the last Mother's Day I spend without my husban! :bounce:

I received beautiful flowers in an even more beautiful vase from him and my daughter, though. :)

My 4 y/o is excited about taking me out for lunch tomorrow (using Daddy's credit card - so sweet!)

Thanks for those sentiments, I appreciate them!

:hi:
