24 years ago, on Mother's Day, my mother passed away after a many year struggle with cancer. There's an old saying "The hand the rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world."

A mother's place in this world is one of significance. She is the nurturer, the healer, the listener, the primary mover and shaker in a child's life. She plays too many roles to really give proper acknowledgment to. 

When I was growing up it seemed that we had a dozen mothers. All the mothers in the neighborhood had their eyes on us and we'd all get disciplined by them, when appropriate.

SO, today I'd like to thank you mother's and wish you a Happy Mother's Day

This is probably the best Mother's Day post I have seen yet Doug. Your words ring true throughout all I am sure.  Thank you for that.

Indeed, Doug... no one can take the place of a mother. I, too, lost my mother to cancer 20 years ago and still miss her and wish I could still spoil her on a day like today.

Doug- this is a beautiful Mother's Day post. When I was growing up we all had mothers around us...my aunts, my mother, my grandmother, and many more family friends and neighbors. Everyone was disciplined by whatever adult was present.
