Today, I not only appreciate "birth mothers", but all women who carry that love for others in their hearts, whether you have children or not. Happy Mother's Day to you!
Raised on the Southern Oregon Coast, now retired on the Southern Oregon Coast. I was a hard of hearing child who grew up to be a deafened adult. I share and write about deafness, hearing loss and other things I find interesting. I am a 50 something year old woman who could be anyone's mother, grandmother or friend. I've traveled the U.S., and I've lived in Europe. I'm currently residing near the beach with Fabulous Husband and 11 year old son. ~ Joyce Edmiston

Mother's Day: It's Not Just for Mothers
Not all women are mothers in the sense of the common definition, but many have a "Mother's Heart". Though the woman I am blessed and privileged to call "Mom" didn't give birth to me (I was adopted), she is in all rights and manners my mother. She loved me because I was her child, regardless. She once told me, "Though I didn't carry you under my breast, I carried you in my heart". That's what being a mother is. Loving and carrying others in your heart.
