"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."

- Abraham Lincoln

Today is the Mother Day. I'm here by salute to all mothers. I will make sure that I call my mother when she wakes up in her time zone. I miss her already.

When I just came to the U.S. a long time ago, I learned that there was such a thing as the Mother Day. And AT&T, the major telephone company would offer big long distance call discounts on only two occasions: Thanksgiving Day and the other one, the Mother Day.

That motivated people to call their mothers on the right occasion. I thought that made a lot of sense. Who said the "foreign devils" don't understand "filial piety"?

Now what can us guys do on a Mother Day? Here is another my favorite quote: "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." I'm planning to do just that.
