My mother wand two grandmothers were all wonderful mothers and had a great influence on my life.

My wife is also a terrific mother. We spat the day lounging in our backyard enjoying the unseasonably warm weather and were taken out to her favorite restaurant by our daughter. Life is good. Mothers are special.

As for pictures, you’d have to talk with my daughter, keeper of the family’s historical stuff. I know she has some of my grandmother as a teen just after coming from Nebraska to KC on a buckboard. I, however, have nothing. Which is the way it should be, seeing as how I’m very bad at keeping stuff.

I was at sea, but my wife’s family rallied around in support. The attending physician, a family friend, had been the Anesthesiologist at her own birth.
That has little to do with Mother’s Day except that by coincidence, that daughter is now a hospital delivery nurse and will be on duty tonight. Perhaps she can help make future Mother’s Days as memorable as Father’s Day is in our family.

We lost my mother when she was just 45. She had a rough row. Newly married and starting her family during the depression followed by my Dad’s absence for WWII, and years of increasingly debilitating medical struggles. I wish she could have known her granddaughters, and they her. It is such great fun watching grandmothers spoil grandchildren. “Who me?”, they say.

Here is mine in her heyday of the 1920s.

She lived in three centuries. Born in 1898 and died in 2001. She was considerate enough to die three weeks before 9/11 so everyone could go to her funeral.

Ahh… for the days when girls were girls and boys were boys, eh
