Mothers’ Day Viewed Through Tears
Mothers’ Day and Valentine’s Days are the two holidays that seem to generate all types of sentimental rhetoric, poems, songs, it goes on and on. With no wish to diminish Mothers’ Day for anyone and no intention to address the overly romanticized VDAY…I would like to comment about Mothers’ day for the folks who find it painfully awkward.
