Mom's the word

The woman shelved her movie-star dreams to change your putrid diapers. This Mother's Day, send her a sonnet.

    A deep bow to Jane Doe all the others like her

    I'm 48 years old, childless by choice, although a "mother" to 2 geriatric cats. I don't know what it's like to be up all night with a sick child, or to help another woman bring life to this world, but I am so grateful for people such as yourself. I take public transportation to and from work each day and I watch in awe of how patient parents are with their whiny, cranky kids. Forget the gurus - people like Jane Doe are the embodiment of compassion, humanity and make this world a softer place. Namaste.
