Mother's Day is a beautiful holiday, celebrating the blessing of motherhood and honoring mothers, grandmothers, aunts, step-mothers and those who've "been like" mothers to us during our lifetime.

It's a day where children might think of their biological mother who placed them for adoption Others may reminise of mothers who have returned home to Heaven.

What is your family doing for Mother's Day? Taking Mom to brunch, buying gifts, making special projects at school. Enjoy your moments together as they are sacred!
