Mother's Day Dedication

I read an excerpt on the air last week and some listeners asked me if Iwould put it on the blog, so here is the Mother's Day dedication:

This day is for all the mothers who read 'Goodnight Moon' twice a night for a year....and then read it again 'just one more time.'This day is for mothers who taught their children to tie their shoe laces before they started school, and for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead.This day is for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little voice calls 'Mommy?' in a crowd, even though you know your own kids are at home.This day is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach aches assuring them they'd be just fine, only to get a call from the school nurse an hour later asking you to please pick them up.This day is for mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation, and for working mothers and stay-at-home mothers, single mothers, married mothers, and mothers-to-be. Hang in there. In the end we can only do the best we can, and tell ourchildren that we love them.
