While I like the idea of a day to honour mums (and dads!), I like better the local version: 'Womens Day'. During years of infertility, we've sat through our share of Mothers Day Sunday services where I was conspicuously sitting down while all the mothers were invited to stand and be prayed for. An insensitive idea, in my opinion (!) since so many women want children -- and many are in a mothering/nurturing role whether they have children of their own or not.
We couldn't make it to the service today, but when I could get out of bed we went out for a special lunch. It was a lovely day. Jon set out our 'happy mothers day' banners and a lovely note from 'the girls' for when I woke up, and Emily kept her public shrieking to a minimum :-)
