So to mothers in these nations, to mothers everywhere else, and to everyone who ever had a mother, we send our love and greetings.
Love to my mom in North Carolina, who I’ve actually seen in the last six months.
Love to my mother-in-law, who actually mowed our lawn with ther power mower while I was away last week.
Love to Lydia’s mom, Carol. Funny thing, that phrase. Although lots of people refer to her as Lydia’s mom, she doesn’t like it it when I say it, maybe because it falsely implies that 1) Carol and I aren’t married (we are) and/or 2) Lydia isn’t my daughter (she is).
Hello to all you mothers, old and new; some have said these things never quite as efficiently.
Happy Mother’s Day.
