Happy Mother's Day to all the "moms" in the world. It is certainly a special gift to be given the blessed opportunity to be a Mom. I hit the jackpot having twins. Tom and Jim are beyond awesome.

What has made be feel especially fortunate is that I loved and liked my Mom and love and like my sons, their wonderful wives that I truly think of as daughters, and my grandchildren: Hope, Noah, Jake and Jonah.

Although my sons are "identical twins" they are uniquely individual and have each given me separate reasons to love, admire and be proud of them as they have grown up and for the men they have become.

My "daughters" have a strength that I admire.

Hope, Noah, Jake and Jonah are beyond fantastic. They each make me smile to overflowing when they share what is happening in their lives.

If I could be anywhere, doing anything today I would wish to be in the Magic Kingdom at Disney with my family enjoying a blissfully happy day.

Since that isn't possible my second choice is to go for a boat ride and then get some ice cream.

I hope where ever you are you have a fantastic, happy day. It is definitely a day when all Mothers should take a moment to be thankful for having been blessed with the opportunity to be
a "Mom."
