Today is Mother's Day, a day to celebrate mothers everywhere, especially your own, and also the day it is considered safe to start gardening here in Denver. And in honor of this day, I am posting a photograph of my mother Mary, taken many years ago in the backyard of our house in the South Side Brainerd neighborhood of Chicago. My mother told me that this was her favorite photograph of herself. It brings back a lot of happy memories, and I am very glad to still have it. I miss my mother, but am happy that she lived to the age of 93 and really enjoyed her life, especially after she and my father Nelson moved to Stuart, Florida back in 1976. In any case, I hope everyone out there has a Happy Mother's Day, either with your mother or remembering all the happy times with her.
