Mother’s Day is Sunday, and as you pause to celebrate your mother, don’t forget about other women who have played the “mom” role in your life.
My list of maternal influences in my life could go on and on. There’s one long-time family friend named Monica whom I actually call “Momica” because of the part she’s played in my life. My mother-in-law has known me since I was in high school and has witnessed many of my life’s best and worst moments. I have aunts who’ve offered caring words and girlfriends who have lovingly nagged and supported me.
Who has been a mom to you? An older sister? A neighbor? An extended relative?
