Happy day to all the Muthas! Once again, as a tribute to my mother, Marilyn Prowse, I’ve posted another list of thank yous.
Unfortunately my dear mum is in another city, so I didn’t get to see her, but we did have a nice phone chat.
Two recent phenomenon have given me new insight into today’s significance. Firstly, many of my female friends have recently become moms, and I have seen what they go through in bringing up the kids. Secondly, a rather traditional colleague of mine, after having to care for his kids full-time while his wife recovered from surgery, came to work exhausted and declared Mother’s Day “the most important holiday of the year.”
So here’s to Mother’s Day, the most important holiday of the year. Yay Moms! (Especially mine!)
