To all the mothers and step-mothers (and spiritual mothers) who are faithful spouses, too:

Happy Mother’s Day!

You are an amazing person. I hope you take time to celebrate you!

It might not seem like it, but “just” being the sane parent is a precious, precious gift that you are giving your children during this difficult time. Be sure you take time out to tend to yourself, and today is a great day to do that.

Do something special just for you today!
