Mother's Day Approaches

Mother's Day has become one of those absolutes. You can pay the psychiatrist $250 every week to talk about her, living or not, but the imprint needs recognition, as does the person.  So after we've become Empty Nesters and my own mother's yahrtzeit passed the half century mark this year, Mother's Day remains a day of recognition.

I usually offer a gift, a not too extravagant one, more likely to be a special effort on my wife's behalf than a thing that can be unwrapped.  And dinner is a special one.  Choosing a card usually takes some thought.  All in the planning stage but high priority as the day approaches.
