"...I am raising my glass to all you ladies who are keeping at it every day, come hell, high water, ingratitude, travail, sorrow, pain, poverty, adversity, loneliness, fear, you name it. Here's to you.

And if you have it easy and good, here's to you anyway."

Thanks, Dani.

That was well said.

Happy Mother's Day to you and to all other mothers.

And regardless of your gender, Happy Mother's Day as well to all who have nurtured, protected, or taught children, youth, and adults to be all that they can be.
