Mothers’ Day

My mother (with me, early 1947)

My mother Eileen died young, in her early 50s, but she lived long enough to see four of her five children marry and begin to have children of their own.  I’m thinking of her today; I know my sisters are too.  Happy Mothers’ Day, Mom.

Of course Donna’s a mom too, and she heard from both of our children today.  What am I doing for Donna today?  Forcing her to run a trail in the heat of the day, then taking her to a dive for beer & chicken wings.  Happy Mothers’ Day, Donna!
