​blog: You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Mothers of all kinds - thank you

            I’m cheating today - my word-heavy poem is my image, my Mother’s Day gift to myself.
            I’d like to expand today’s maternal tribute. Because not all humans who give birth are good nurturers, and not all good nurturers have given birth, let’s thank all those who mother. I include my husband who keeps lovely surprises secret, and my children who sometimes mother me by sending gifts, sending words, making calls, or showing up unexpectedly to break the hugging rule over Mother’s Day weekend.

            Mother (verb): 
1.To bring up (a child) with care and affection
2.To give rise to, produce
3.To care for or protect
           
            Thank you.
