What a wonderful idea to give Mom a Mother's Day where she can choose from the things she loves best. Whether it's special outings or extra help, I think most moms would appreciate the thoughtfulness and love behind such a gift.

Every year I’d get up extra early to try to make my mom breakfast in bed. I’d even pick a little bouquet of flowers (hopefully not Mom’s prize roses) the night before, to make it extra special. And the meal? It was invariably scrambled eggs—at 8 or 9, it was the only breakfast recipe I knew how to make.

This week we celebrate Mother's Day with several stories that honor not only the mothers in our lives, but also the mothering impulse in general.
