May. Brings to mind May flowers and...Mother's Day. For a large portion of the population, Mother's Day is a great day to either celebrate your Mom or be celebrated as a Mom.

When Mother's Day comes around, there are some women who are not among the celebrating masses. There are some women they just don't make a Hallmark card for. I think about them this time of year...every single year.

Basically, there are many people who are not the traditional Moms that will celebrate in the way the card companies and florists would have you believe. Moms come in all shapes and sizes. Married or single. Old or young. Moms of many children or those longing for just one. Women who have lost children or given them away for a better life. People who have no Mom they can celebrate with. Men who live the role of both Mom and Dad.
