Now at last I sing of you
Because you are unsung
Mother, Mom, Mama,
Whose given name is Grace

Papa was the dark star
the thunderhead
naturally I gave him my speech:
swallowed, raged, grieved,
forgave

While you were there
like the...

My father phoned from Switzerland, I don't remember the hour.

"I lost your mother, Jill."

"Lost her...what do you mean?"

"We were out walking in the village. I asked her if she'd mind slowing down a little, on account of my sciatica. For some reason this enraged her. Next thing...

Near the end of World War II, the Germans arrested your Uncle Gilles, Aunt Claire told me. Her white hair fluffed, softening a face that conveyed firmness and self-possession.

She called me her gauche niece, an American Gigi. She was my formidable, sophisticated French aunt. When my mother was a...

I have no children, so my story is one of connecting to a far part of the world and becoming a mentor to a young Russian woman, who is now living and working in Los Angeles after interning with me.

Antonina Grib first emailed me about two years ago, telling...

My mom turns ninety in July and she's a hottie. She had fifty-four years of devoted wedlock to my father. Then he died and after a period of ardent mourning, she kicked up her heels.

Though she never boasted, I knew she'd been hot in school--the way I...

4 yeas ago on May 2 I met my biological mother and gave birth to my third baby girl.

Four years later, on May 2nd, I sit here with a book going to print, two items in the process of being trademarked, Ladies Who Launch/The Huffington Post/IVillage asking about mother...

It's 80 degrees in Washington today; 85 in Tucson. That five degree difference is as close as I am going to get to my mother today. She is alone in a hospital trying to figure out why she is in that paper gown, starting at those same dull green walls...

We are sisters, Audrey McClelland (age 28) and Jane Porricelli (age 26), who are sending you our take on the special woman in our lives - our mother, Sharon Couto.

We are not only best friends with our Mom, but all three of us work together and own our own...

In 1870, after the devastation of the American Civil War, social activist and poet Julia Ward Howe wrote the original Mother's Day Proclamation calling upon the women of the world to unite for peace.

On April 3rd, 2007 my Grandma Cindy passed away. Her death signified the end of a horrific 6 years for my mother. Year-after-year since 2001 my mother has experienced great loss and pain - death, divorce, surgery, alcoholic loved ones, a child moving abroad, etc. My mom turned 50 the...

My grandmother comes from the ocean.
Waded out in boots and a baseball cap
and fell flat on the sand to catch her breath.
She's salty- skin a coat,
wrinkled when wet.

She guts fish, a sharp knife squeaks

My husband says that when my adult daughter comes home I become a different person. I think what he means is that I become solicitous of her in a way that I am not with him. And I suppose this goes back to my theory of raising children.

My bond with my daughter, and with my own mother have been a spiritual, loving, and empowering learning experience. We are all bonded together in an unexplainable unspoken bond that only other mothers and daughters can know. There is an intuitive emotion that connnects us through the generations. My own...

I always tell people that my mother is the bravest and strongest woman that I know. My mother is a remarkable woman. Ever since I can remember appreciating strength and character, protector and fighter is what comes to mind when I think of my mother. In the West Indies, when...

I am amazed by my own daughter.

I raised her on my own as her father was abusive, and Samantha was so talented, so smart. I am a musician, and she began playing the violin, I went along and studied with her. She decided on the cello - it was...

It's been just short of 20 years since she left to join beloved family members long gone. And though the outstretched hand backlit by a celestial light is something I don't believe in, I know for sure that is what she saw as she drifted away.

The hospital in...

Some mothers give their daughters long orations on proper behavior and how to be a good friend. My mom is not that type. Rather, she leads by example. A friend recently paid me a high compliment by remarking on my loyalty and asked where that quality came from. Simply put:...
