Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mother, Kathy, and to my lovely bride, Julie. Trager is 7 weeks old...I have a new found admiration for all mothers and the sacrificial love they dish out every day. So many of our mothers are simply heroic.
I thought I'd dig up some quotes about moms to help us reflect this Mother's Day. Enjoy!
