What a lovely article. This past Mothers Day my new husband, who never had kids, was upset that neither of my daughters had sent me a card. They video called instead, with grandchildren & husbands on the calls. They are both busy mothers with small children & full time jobs. My oldest daughter's husband is fighting cancer. I love them & see what they are dealing with day to day & they have persevered through difficult times, including Covid, with my youngest giving birth to her 2 year old in a mask. My family is what matters & while I miss my own mother & mother in law, cards do not a mother make.
