this is mine...
Isn't she beautiful?
None of us would be here if we didn't have a Mom. Some mothers are here and some not. But it's still a day to be grateful, enjoy memories and think about life.
And on this Mother's Day, besides being a terrific Mom -- personally -- I'd like to thank my Mother for not aborting me. It sounds awful until you look at the statistics. There are lots of babies who aren't around to say thanks (for nothing) to their pro-choice Moms.
Happy Mother's Day, to all the Moms who were brave enough to face "unsightly weight gain" -- being alive is a sweet, beautiful gift you gave us.
In the comments:
Andrea Harris reminds us of an excellent point, "Not to mention all those kids who can't be adopted, because they don't exist."
I have childhood friend (who is adopted) and just adopted this past year. After a few years of looking for a baby of any race to adopt in the US -- she had to go to Korea to find an un-aborted baby. Thank god some people still recognize life.

Easy to see where your beauty comes from, she is a lovely woman. And she takes time to smell the roses!

Mox,
I envy you.My mother died some years ago.I recall a John O'Hara novel where the protagonist asks his sister to lace some flowers on their deceased mother's grave site with the comment of ,"I hope she know."That's how I feel.Thanks for the icture of yours.I'm off to the cemeterey.

Corwin,
No need to envy me. Mother's Day isn't just for celebrating Mom's who are alive.
That's what I was saying about enjoying memories and the life they gave you.
Sounds like you had a terrific Mom too. Some people don't even think about visiting the cemetery.

Not to mention all those kids who can't be adopted, because they don't exist. I'm adopted. I was born in 1963. I supposed if my birth mother had been pregnant ten years later, I wouldn't be here to write this.
