To those of you with young children, here is a peek into your future. 

After years of hard work and your best efforts (OK, mostly your best efforts) … I predict that your adorable bundles of joy will someday wish they could send you this card.

So, take a moment to think about your Mom … and remember that she was very young when she did those things to you … (and what you make them mean is up to you).

Last week, I wrote about making the most of the time you have left. 

This Mother's Day, I hope you make the most of the time you have with your mother. Remind her that you care … and that you forgive her for all the trauma she caused.
