I would just like to say, "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!" to all the Moms, Dads who are the "mamas", (while mama is deployed or otherwise), grandparents who are the "mamas", (while both have deployed or otherwise)... uncles, aunts, friends, foster parents who are the MOMS to our children, young or old... You know who you are. It is not a conventional society, as many years ago, and MANY ARE "moms", aside, and in some cases, despite, of the birthmoms, to others.
I wish you ALL a very special Mother's Day!
