Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Moms who drop by here. I’d love to be able to call my mother; MLB called hers before I got up this morning. MLB was a little subdued; her mother’s mental condition is deteriorating constantly and more and more visibly.

I’m not sure I could handle such a situation; MLB and I have talked about that at length. My mother has been with the Lord for nearly 10 years; MLB’s, while still physically here, is really not the person we’ve loved over the years. Lights on, nobody home. Still, we can’t just abandon her; that wouldn’t be right, and it’s the furthest thing from our minds. I’m amazed at MLB and her sister in Arkansas, as they do a great job in seeing to their mother’s care. I’m supportive, but at the same time thankful that I don’t have to provide such services for my Mom.

So, if you haven’t called your Mother today, pick up that phone.

Scott has already posted some great Mother’s Day tunage; I’ll add one of my faves. There’s more truth than fiction in this little ditty, at least in my experience.
