Today is Mothers Day.
I didn't do that anymore after I became a Jehovah's Witness. Watchtower regime said it had pagan origins and we shouldn't honor a person, my mother in this case, other than Jehovah.

Well, this 'Verse of the day' was a good message for mothers and the women who raised us, from a mother and grandmother.
My birthmother gave me up for adoption. She wasn't married, but she was 31 and had a good job in 'care'. Go figure. I read that in the adoption files I got from Child Protection Services once.
