Happy Mother's Day

I can't seem to get my mother on the phone this morning. Since I have to head in to campus and pick up a few books, and since I know she is a frequent visitor to this site, I thought I might post a brief message here in the event that it might find her before I do.

My mother is the standard against which every person I have ever known has had the unfair fate of being measured. Not to be left out, my grandmother has been (along with my uncle) the anchor for our family for as long as I can remember. My every success has been the product of their loving kindness, and my every failure a deviation from the example they have set before me. To them, and to all mothers, I wish a happy Mother's Day.
