Happy Mothers Day!

To all the moms out there including my mother and my wife. 

I would like to send a fond Happy mama day, as we call it here in my house. Being a mother is no easy task. The job my wife does with our 5 beautiful children is not only unpaid, but in today's world is roundly unappreciated. Mothers are the ones that hold a family together. Much more than fathers, the day to day getting things done and making sure we all look good and smell good is her job. She kisses hurt knees and tirelessly rocks them to sleep. She tells them stories and says she loves the silly picture they drew, because she knows how good that makes them feel. I know many times in this blog I have mentioned how the soldier is the best of us. But... on this day, we must remember that those brave men and women are only who they are because of a mother.
