Good morning my DU family,

On a weekend that's dedicated to thanking our mothers, along with other mothers we've come to admire, let us take some time to really consider how awesome they really were, and are.

Think about doing a job where you're required to live at work, with maybe three or four days off a year, a job with no set hours, no description, no paycheck, no fringe benefits, no retirement, and if you're really really good at it, your spouse will thank you some nights by.....wanting to add eighteen years to your workload lol.

My post this morning is part awe and part snark, especially towards the system that dedicates one day a year to celebrate one of the most important jobs on the planet.

So let's start early, and go late.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to both feel and share our gratitude for so many of the things that we might so easily otherwise take for granted.

Have a glorious day with each other this weekend DU.
Love, John
