A s Mother’s Day approaches, I have to say I haven’t really been paying attention. I’ve thought a couple of times about needing to get a card for my mother and mother-in-law, and maybe a book for my mom. But it’s been brought to my attention that I will be a mother myself in about six weeks' time and that this day might have some particular relevance to me.
In thinking about what Mother’s Day means to me I’ve realized I don’t know. But it’s got me thinking about what being a mother means to me. And that’s really complicated.
