My father, Marshall, was not the father who taught his kids how to use a tennis racquet or swing a golf club. He did much more; he taught my brothers and me how to throw a football, ride a horse, drive a tractor and know that there are over 800 different varieties of cattle throughout the world.
This year’s Mother’s Day has me dancing with joy. It is the first time that I will get to be with my mother on Mother’s Day in almost 20 years. My mother lives in Florida and I live on Mercer Island. So, I will not be taking this Mother’s Day for granted.
