Happy Mothers Day to everyone that is a mom and to all of the single dads who are the mom as well.

The Mothers Day I will never forget:
When I was a single dad with three children back in the early 90's I will never forget going to church(First Baptist, Jackson MS) in 1990 on Mothers Day.

We were well known in the church (the dad with 3 children), so after I dropped all of the kids in their prospective Sunday school rooms I headed to the main sanctuary. All of the Mom's were given a Orchard corsage every Mothers Day at church, it was a tradition that went back 50 or so years. I was in line to enter the sanctuary, it was taking a little longer than normal as the corsages were being pined on the "Mom's" as they entered the sanctuary. As I got to the front of the line I was handed a Rose boutonniere with three Sweetheart roses, one for each of my children. I wore it proudly all day and I still have it pressed between some pages in my old bible.

So to all Mom's (even us male Mom's) Happy Mothers Day!

Scott, I think you get to the true heart of Mother's Day.  There are all kinds, and kids need mothering even if it has to be from their father.

It's nice to know that there are still churches and communities out there that care enough to do some of those little things that get remembered very fondly. Happy Mother's Day to all!

Scott,  That is a great story.  I have a whole new respect for you.  I'm sure you are a great father to your children as well as a great mother for them when they needed you to be.
