Mother’s Day 2010 approaches, and for all mothers, living or not, it is a very special day. It may be a Hallmark holiday, but, darn it, this one is a good one. Even more special in some ways than Mom’s birthday was the outpouring of appreciation for Mom’s specific contributions of selfless motherhood that my brothers, my dad and I provided on each Mother’s Day from when I can first recall it to my mother’s passing in 2002 at the age of 88.
