So delightful, the pastel colours, the expressions. Indeed, Mother's Day has become commercial. I gift my mother today jams (from Germany) and jellies (from Argentina) for diabetics, still somewhat difficult to acquire here in Uruguay. She loves them.

Interesting backstory and exceptional drawing and commentary!

I agree that Mother's Day has become commercial or, as some would say, "a Hallmark holiday."

I certainly don't need a specific day to remind me to remember my mom but, when I do, I know how lucky I was to have a mom who gave love and warmth generously and who was an excellent role model I can only aspire to live up to.

Sorry for that weird note, Steve. I had my mic on because I am in the hospital with my husband. Jeff has been very ill the last few months so I was talking to a doctor here. What I meant to say was thank you for beautifully portraying these incredibly strong women in your beautiful tribute to Mother’s Day.
