As Women’s History Month comes to a close, I’ve been thinking about moms and honoring motherhood. I’ve written before about how my mom instilled values in me, including respect for everyone’s rights, not just my own. Mom also worked multiple jobs to support our family through some very hard times. She represents my ideal of what a mother should be, without a doubt.
And maybe she would represent yours too, or my neighbor’s. I certainly think so — but the truth is I can’t say for sure, and I can’t insist on it.
