You know, lots of people carp about the artificiality and commercial nature of made-up holidays like “Mother’s Day”… but I gotta tell ya, I kinda dig being made much of.\u00a0\u00a0 Especially when my day starts with a heartfelt poem from my beloved:<\/p>\n

To my wonderful wife, you’re simply the best,
\nTogether forever, here in our nest.
\nA family we’ve made, a family we’ve got,
\nwe’ve raised them up strong, from when they were tots.
\nA mother you’ve been, the best ever was,
\nyour kids all do show it, and now you’re the buzz.
\nWe wish you a mother’s day all filled with joy,
\nall three little girls, and even the boy.
\nMay your day be merry and filled with ease,
\nyour children and I do hope we can please.
\nSo thank you again for the love that we share,
\nwe’ll love you right back, just as much as we dare!<\/p>\n

I didn’t know I was getting a Seussical poet when I married him.\u00a0 That was a sweet and surprising bonus!!<\/p>\n
