Walking past a display of pink and white cards last week at Target, I noticed that Mother's Day falls the day after graduation. I pondered this for a minute and snickered out loud. Mother's Day? One whole day devoted to appreciating moms that toil year round? Wow.
I thought about my own mother, and how we had both almost died during birth in an emergency C-section so harrowing it could have been a plot line for "ER" or "Grey's Anatomy". Instead, we persevered, me weighing a tad over 5 pounds and my mother proud, but exhausted.
