What may be "nor- mal" for one family could be quite unique to another. Because families are so different, days such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparent's Day, and even days devoted to siblings or cousins present opportunities for families to celebrate diversity while honoring their family mem- bers. Branch out to many caregivers Certainly a person be- comes a mother if she has given birth to a child. But motherhood is a much broader concept. Many women are mothers to chil- dren with whom they have little to no biological con- nection. Some may be rela- tives that filled the void left by a mother who passed away or was unable to care for children. Anyone who has stepped into the role of caretaker can and should be celebrated on Mother's Day. Recognizing stepmothers The notion of the "evil stepmother" in fairy tales is inaccurate. Many children have very close relation- ships with their stepmothers — even retaining relation- ships should the stepmother divorce out of the family. Modern families even in- clude strong connections between stepmothers and biological mothers, with each doing her part to make sure children are getting the love and support they need. Absent but not forgotten Some mothers are not present in children's lives for various reasons. These can include death, incar- ceration, illness, military deployment, or enrollment in a rehabilitation program. Mother's Day can be a time of mixed emotions for in- dividuals whose moms are not present, and families can work together to find ways to celebrate. This may be visiting the cemetery to pay respects or sending a letter to express one's feel- ings. Individuals also can recognize those people who act as surrogate mothers, including special friends or coworkers who always lis- ten and offer advice. Mother's Day can be recognized with flexibility and creativity within non- traditional families. How non-traditional families can celebrate Mother's Day Three Little Girls by Marie R. Honeycutt Three little girls, God gave to me, Three little girls, different as can be And yet in one way, all are the same, God knows them all and can call them by name. For one day all three accepted His love, And He wrote their names in Heaven above. Oh, may I be worthy to be called Mother, And may we all love and help one another. God, show me the kind of example to be, That I might lead my little girls three. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
