Greetings!
This year the first week of May is culminated with our celebration of Mother's Day. It seems every year I see another example of the special bond that only exists between a mother and child. This past weekend Carole and I were in Ann Arbor, Michigan for the MBA graduation of our son Gregory. During the entire decision process of going to school, where to go and the whole interview process, father and son consulted. Mom almost felt left out. At graduation father and son talked about the job & financial plans and the logistics of the future. Mom's view was very different.
While we are both very proud and him, Carole's focus is her child; his well being, the excitement of the day, the friendships he formed. She realized the talk of planning and job interviews were really inconsequential. Mom wants to know the essence of her child. Is he happy? Who will be his soul mate? What will happen to her child if a tsunami hits the west coast? She spent a very special weekend being alongside her child and enjoyed being able to touch him and hug him; almost as if he were in the crib. It leaves me in a state of wonder. To all, remember Mom; she never forgets you.
