Any Way You Spell Mom…

Posted in News at 10:00 pm by Dawn Miller

Kudos to the Alameda Sun for writing an outstanding editorial on the value of mothering, “Any Way You Spell Mom, It Means the Same Thing.” Editors wrote:

Although in fiction most stepmothers have had a bad reputation for being “evil,” in reality the role of stepmother is as challenging as the role of birth mother. Traditionally, a stepfamily is the family one acquires when a parent enters a new marriage, whether the parent was widowed or divorced. Another common term is blended family.

Some people are raised by grandmothers, aunts, family friends, foster parents or older siblings. No matter who has played the role of “mother” in a person’s life, Mother’s Day is always a good day to thank that person.
