Sunday is Mother's Day, and I am grateful to still have my mother with me. At 97, every single day is a gift, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to give back to her a little bit of what she has given me for 60 plus years.
But I have also been thinking about what it means to be a mother to my own children. Life is a complicated dance between competing obligations, and it can be very hard to decide which steps are most important at any given moment.
