MOTHERS DAY

a most happy mothers day to all who are mothers, to all who will become mothers, to all who have mothers, to all who are the partners of mothers, and most especially to my mother. she taught me, by word and by example, the meaning of integrity, of discretion, of honesty, of rigorous discipline, of racial tolerance, of sentimentality, of selfless love, and of generous laughter. thanks, mom. you are my shining star.
