In fact, I oftentimes find myself unwittingly drawn to nurturing women of a certain age. These women are important to me -- as a mother, a daughter, and a woman.

I too have a few other mothers in my life and I am sending this to them.

I can relate well to the moment you describe right after you became a mother, wanting a mother of your own to help walk you through it. You've also given me food for thought this morning as I give thanks not only for my own terrific mom, but also for the Other Mothers that have helped and continue to help raise me.
