A Love Letter to All Mothers on Valentine's Day
I hope anyone reading this will take the time to remember just how much every mother loves her children. Now nearly five years gone, my mother's love lives in my heart, her voice comes out in my words, her spirit comes out in my actions, her teachings guide my life. My mother's name was Mary. She taught me to never walk away from someone in need.
The reason I dread and fear Valentine's Day is because, despite being a happily married woman for nearly a quarter-century, my husband has loathed the holiday from the beginning. Why you ask? Why, if your husband is happily married too, would he not wish to express that happiness?
