Make a woman's day on Mother's Day.

I haven't written a blog in a long time, but I feel that a situation with a friend warrants this. I don't want to say names, because I want to keep her privacy, and she has shared the information with people she felt comfortable sharing with. This woman is absolutely amazing. She has a husband, a step-son, a full-time job, lots of really cool hobbies, an adorable dog and most importantly, the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. Unfortunately, her smile has faded due to grief and sorrow. With Mother's day approaching, she doesn't feel appreciated although she should be, and this enrages me to no end!

Here is the definition of the word "mother":
moth·er ¹ 

1.

a. A female person who is pregnant with or gives birth to a child.

b. A female person whose egg unites with a sperm, resulting in the conception of a child.

c. A woman who adopts a child.

d. A woman who raises a child.

I would like to ask all of you to take a minute and show your gratitude to all women in your life that fall under the above mentioned categories. It only takes one moment, but this moment can make someone's day. My wish is that on Mother's day, my friend can grace the world with her heartfelt, beautiful smile.
