Great thoughts Karen and these two bloggers remind us about special mothers and "orphans" who miss their mothers all the time, more so on Mother's Day. As an "orphan" myself, I really understand this.

Thank you for linking to Carleen's posting. I'd been out of town and missed seeing it. Now I've got to check out the other link too.

I hope you get to see her soon, Amber! I'm sure you both wish CO and MD were a lot closer together. K.

Nice post--I can't imagine what the world would be like without my mother. I find myself needing her again and again...and I don't think it'll ever stop.

Thanks, ladies! I agree both colums were well worth highlighting. TODAY is back to work day for me. Onward! K.

From what I could find out, Maureen lives in New Jersey and has a son, Patrick, with spinal muscular atrophy.

Thanks for the link to Carleen's blog. The Higgins piece made me bawl...but it was good. Cleansing and validating all at once.

Karen, I loved the Higgins piece too and did some half-hearted googling on her after I read it, which turned up not much.<BR/><BR/>I was actually surprised that I had not come across that piece prior to reading it on Jodi's site.

Aw thanks, K. Now get back to work! (said the girl surfing the net instead of finishing a freelance article due today!)
