A tribute to our mothers

Every day should be Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparent's Day. But it's not all bad to have a set 24 hours to really focus on the people you love.

The last few months have been very, very difficult to several people close to us. We are thinking of those very strong women today--close friends who have lost parents, who have said goodbye too soon to children, who are dealing with emotional as well as physical issues. We know we are blessed to have our parents and tragedy, as it always does, makes us cherish the memories we have even more.

I have to say Doug wanted to share a gift card to Macy's with our mothers. A nice gesture, yes. Maybe next time. But I hope these pictures from the past, of many of the times we have laughed together, are worth more. Already, Jason, Michael, and Joshua are glued to the screen every time we play these videos.

Cheers to our mothers. We love you! We are so lucky to have you with us.






To all the mothers out there, have a wonderful day!!!
