Happy Mother's Day to all those past, present, and future mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmothers (though aren't they all great?). Today, I am grateful for my mom. Along with my dad, she worked tirelessly to support my sister and I. She put up with all my nonsense as a kid. She tried to instill as best she could what it means to be a good human being (Yes, I remember being taken to the picket line when she and her fellow nurses stood up for themselves and went on strike because they weren't being given what they deserved back in the late '90s—and yes, I remember Bernie Sanders coming out to support them! Who knew...).
Thank you, mom, for everything you sacrificed to create a loving, caring home for us. Thank you for being supportive as we embarked on creating lives of our own. Thank you for always being there for us and may we be there for you when you need it.
