I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day! to all women today.

You may not have given birth or adopted a child. But there are people that you may have "mothered" throughout your life that you may not even have realized. When I read those mushy cards on Mother's Day in total disgust at the thought of my own mother, two women that were in my life at different ages come to mind... one was the older woman who lived next door who didn't have any children of her own, who was like a substitute grandmother... and the other was my pastor's wife who let us hang out at her house all the time when we were teenagers...who was like the mother I wanted to have...

So to all the women who have ever taken the time to invest even a small part of yourself into another's life.... Happy Mother's Day.
