I am grateful to have had a wonderful mom, and even though she is no longer with us, her memory and impact is fresh and real every day. My mom was the most courageous person I have ever known. So, for those of you who enter this Mother’s Day without your mother, I encourage you to read the poem below by Edna St. Vincent Millay. For those with a mother still living, remind your mom how much you love her. Finally, my prayer for everyone is that you will embrace and enjoy every minute of this Mother’s Day!
