> Giving birth to children does not automatically make one a mother. Single fathers are an oft-forgotten group of heroes, in my very biased opinion.

Fair points, Max. Procreation itself does not, or should not make this day something special in our thoughts, but rather the tender nursing and affection most* mothers give; that which is automatically expected of them, but rarely acknowledged.

Good on yuz all, ladies. Tend to our future well:-) And hang in there!
