It's wonderful to see that the gift of writing runs in your family. I was touched by this beautiful piece your parents created together. I learned about the origin of Mother's Day and the history it carries. Thank you for sharing, Rick!
Thanks. Same for me, having no idea about the origins of Mother’s day I found this very poignant. This was only going to get shared with about 9 other of my folk’s friends and definitely needed to reach a bigger crowd, so am so happy it’s being appreciated. I’ll be asking my dad for a poem again next year. Maybe I’ll ask him to explain the origins of mothers.
I loved that you shared this poem from your parents on Mother's day! What a beautiful gift and way to celebrate your mother. I also wasn't familiar with the history of Mother's day, so this was so interesting to read. Beautifully written as well, I can see where you get your writing skills from! Happy Mother's day to your mother!
Thanks for sharing this Rick! Tell them I spent time with my Mom and got her two flower plants to add to her garden. Miss and love you all!
So glad you got a chance to see it, and enjoy mother's day in your own way. A happy one to you as well!!
You’re such a reflection of your parents! Thoughtful and insightful. Mahalo to you and your family for the gift!
Thanks John!

Yes, I feel pretty lucky for the good company and mutual appreciation we've always shared as writers.
Hear warming Rick. I had no idea that Mother's day was started because of war! A very moving piece.
I am also touched that you're parents wrote this. They seem like very special people. Sending them a big hug from India.
I want to piggy back on what John Souza said below—you are such a reflection of your parents!
Thank you Ishan. Yes, they're very special people. They'll delight in the transatlantic hug!
Extremely thought-provoking <3
Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
My pleasure Tresa. Thank you for your appreciation.
Wow. This was awesome! Now I see where you get some of your incredible writing ability.
This was about the most fun way I could imagine to learn about the history of Mother's Day (which I did not know! so interesting!).
Thanks for sharing Rick. Love the picture of Mom, Dad, and the pupper.

I definitely want to read a poem on the origin of mothers
This is great! It's just like having a visit. So nice to see Nancy & Richard through their poetry.
Thanks Juanita. Agreed.
What a beautiful and informative poem. (And now I know the writing fruit doesn't fall far from the tree).
Please wish your mother (parents) on my behalf. They created a good one.
Thanks Karena. Such a joy to be able to share this with you in light of our recent appreciation of parents. And happy mother's day to you too!
You just got the thumbs up from my mother too. What a special message.
Wonderful and inspiring Rick! Happy Mother's Day!!!
Thanks man!

My dad was my first rule-breaking instructor actually.
What do mean? I taught them everything they know. ha ha : )
haha I see, your dad you rule-breaking and you taught him how to turn it into a story 😂
Wonderful, beautiful, sharp and so very relevant to our and, sadly, all times! Thank you, Richard, and also Nancy ...
So glad you appreciated it Bob. Thanks for the note.
