It's mothers day today and I've been thinking of my friend, Jen, who lost her beautiful son, Ben, this past September. He was an exquisite actor both on and off stage. I've know Jen for a long time and watched with admiration as she raised Ben and his brother, Brian. Sometimes she would have to gather her little family together, pick them up by the napes of their necks, and move on to protect them from harm; always with humor, strength, and endless love.
I've also been thinking about my man-cub, Michael, and am missing him very much this day. I have to say, I am eternally grateful for Alison, Rachel, and Corey, my other now-grown cubs, who are the brightest lights in my life.
…some college party, of course!
