[Magdalen] Mutter Tag.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Thanks David. As a very young child my father impressed upon me that my mom was not "his" mom and that I needed to make Mother's Day special for her which I did in various ways from near then mostly far away until she moved here on '02 and then she was near again. I realized last week that this is my first Mothers Day without her. Your post gave me pause to remember so many of those Mom day moments - thanks twice!

It's a fact of life for me that on Sunday afternoons, I get this  tugging
and nagging thought that I should be doing something.  It's really  the
leftover custom for me of calling my mother on Sunday afternoons.

Mother has been dead since 1998 (she died at age 98), but such are
the tugs on the memory after all that time.

For my mother, one might forget her birthday, or even Christmas, as
unlikely as those lapses might be, but one had better NEVER forget  mother's
day.  This meant the obligatory card, and phone call, but also a
GIFT.

Happy mother's day for all mothers.
