Just about every May, I sit down to write Homeward Bound; I write about Mother’s Day. Why not… it is a very special day for very special people. My mom used to tell me, repeatedly, to do this and do that, not to do this and not to do that. All, I recall, very valuable advice. Looking back on it all these many years later, I can say she was, and still is, a very wise woman. Time reveals just about every caring mother is a wise woman. I can see why we carve out a special day each year to acknowledge moms. So here is a shout-out to all moms – Happy Mother’s Day!
