As I'm approaching having this baby (due in 17 days, but who's counting), I've had a few particular people on my mind: my mothers.
From left to right: my grandmother Linda, my great-grandmother Orpha, my mom Lori, and my great-great grandmother Mary. What wonderful women they were and are!
Without them there would be no me! Sounds like a Dr. Seuss take-away message, but it's a truth that's resounded in me lately more than ever. My profound thanks to them for their desire to mother and their ability to mother so well.
And happy birthday to my beautiful mother today!
