This is a photo of my mom. Beautiful, isn''t she? Barb Lorinser was softened at the edges but tempered with a spine of steel... Friends, I just learned the original concept of Mother's Day. It's history is interesting, and I thought I'd share. It holds a significant place in history, and its cause is still very relevant today. My mom, an orphan, overcame giant obstacles to become a union nurse and singlehandedly raised six kids. We relied on government assistance at times, but her grit and tenacity kept food on the table and love in our home. Today, we celebrate all the resilient mothers and their unconditional love. Happy Mother's Day.
