My daughters are in their 30’s now, but when I heard a child call out “Mom” today in Wegmans, I automatically turned to look.

Does motherhood ever end? I don’t think so. My mother’s been gone 15 years now, but I still hear her voice saying “Keep on the

straight and narrow.” I still feel her watching my back as I walked to the corner store by myself. I still see her face lit up when I stopped unexpectedly to visit.

No. Motherhood never ends, and thank God for that.
