A note for you ladies today on Mother's Day:
From a non-mom, of course :-):
Happy Mother's Day to those of you celebrating your first Mother's Day! This is a special time to acknowledge who you have become, with all the struggles of transitioning to becoming a mother being a small price to pay for what you're doing to become one of the most important people in someone else's life!
Happy Mother's Day to those of you celebrating a second (or more!) Mother's Day! Not only do you continue to grow as mom's every day, but you've done so much to help the other women on the board learn from where you've already been, helping to make everyone better, happier, and saner! :-)
Happy Mother's Day to those of you carrying around a baby-to-be, as you feel yourself that you're starting to feel more mother-like every day, already being careful of every choice you make, and waiting for the kicks and the pressure on the bladder and all the things that the baby inside can do at this point to actually remind you that s/he's there....
Happy Mother's Day to those of you dreaming of becoming a Mother some day, whether it's the biggest dream you have today, or one you have as you close your eyes and imagine your life in a few years. When you already have love in your heart for a child of your future, you've already started the wonderful work of becoming a mom, not matter what the future holds for you. And I wish all of you your dreams to come true.
As for the rest of us (we know who we are), who aren't quite sure if being a mom is in our plans, or know for sure it is not, we DO know what it means to be a fantastic Auntie to our nieces and nephews, whether through family or through frienship, and what it means to be there for our friends when they need someone to talk to when the days of being a Mom or becoming a Mom are hard, and they need someone to care about THEM, too. Happy "Helping a Mother be a Mother"'s Day to us!
A special day for everyone... may you find a moment to reflect on anyone you know who is a Mom and remember them for what they've done for you to make you who you are today!

So sweet Kathy! Thanks for that little message. It really puts things in perspective to know that love and impact I have for everyone, including my nephews (by love, not by blood)
Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Aww, Kathy, this is just so wonderful and sweet! You made me tear up (okay, I'll admit it, I outright CRIED! Haha)
I'm so thankful that we have you around here, you bring so much love to our board
