Happy Mother's Day!

I've been rather lucky in my life to be surrounded by wonderful women. Since high school it seems most of the lasting relationships that I've made have primarily been made with females. On top of that, they've all become mothers.

I think it's odd that my best friends are mothers and fathers. I've always had a great aversion to adulthood, and at times I feel like Peter Pan looking through the window seeing other people grow up.

I'm lucky enough to have my own Wendy, however. I can't imagine a more pure love in my life than seeing my wife holding my boy. I'm very lucky to be married to an intelligent, witty, artistic renaissance woman. Be it pictures, cupcakes, singing or another of her many talents, she makes the world more beautiful by living in it. I love her.

My son is very lucky to have her as a mother.

Which brings me to my own. To state it pure and simply, my mom loves her kids. I'm not sure if I need to elaborate on it anymore than that. I'm not exactly good about telling her how wonderful she is but few people are as unselfish with their love as my mom. She rather like a beacon of light that people come to to feel loved. She's filled with it.

So here's to two wonderful women and mothers. I'm blessed that they're in my life.
