Happy Mother's Day to my mom(s) and yours. In case you don't know, displaying a white rose means that your mom has gone to her reward; displaying a red one means she's alive and kicking.
Mine had a scare a few years back, but she's still here, thank God.
One of the most interesting things about this day is that people say "Happy Mother's Day" to every female who appears to be over fourteen. Having no children, I used struggle my "but..." reflex down in a nanosecond when people wished me Happy Mother's Day and say thanks. After my mother beat cancer, I don't have that reflex anymore.
