Readers: I am off this week. In honor of Mother’s Day, we are re-running a tribute I wrote to my mother in 2008, when I was editor of The Bay City Times.
I’ve put it off for almost 30 years, for a variety of reasons. First, one man’s heartfelt tribute is prone to be another man’s “sappy.” That’s why Hallmark sells 1,600 varieties of Mother’s Day cards.
