Mother's Day
Skull:
A story that mothers will love, even if no ones else cares:
--- Quote ---A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundreds miles away.
As he got out of the car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents and a rose costs two dollars.”
He bought the little girl a rose and then ordered his own mother’s flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, “Yes, please. You can take me to my mother.”
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.
--- End quote ---

What a beautiful story @Skull
I was just thinking this very morning, I feel bad because one of my grandmothers died before I was born, and the other when I was a teenager.
My mom is really getting up there and I’m grateful for her.

However, the Left wants more government help for mothers, so they can work at "real" jobs outside the home:
