Last year, I wrote a Mother’s Day column about my mama and how she always finds a way to make things happen. I also explained some don’t have mothers, others have mothers who have passed away and some just don’t have good relationships with their mothers, but I’d like to think there’s at least one person in everyone’s life who serves as a mother figure — even if it’s a dad.

So I concluded the column with, “Whoever you’d like to honor, give them a big hug and let them know how much you appreciate them.”
