Happy Day, Mom!

“Mother is the name of god on the lips and hearts of all children.”

— William Makepeace Thackeray (and yes, Eric Draven in The Crow)

I wish I could say this in person, but right now, Mom’s in the Philippines with both her brothers. They’re by the bedside of my gravely ill grandfather, who’s not expected to last much longer. Until she returns this Wednesday, I’ll just have to send my best wishes for Mother’s Day long distance.

Happy Day to all you Moms out there!
