My birth mother would have turned 80 next week. Before she died 3 1/2 years ago, I was finally able to forgive her for letting go of her three young daughters so that she could go in search of herself. I’ve shared my story of forgiveness today at Brenda Yoder’s blog, Life Beyond the Picket Fence. Join me as I explore why I’m still confused by Mother’s Day, and enter a drawing for the book “Forgiving Our Fathers and Mothers” by Leslie Leyland Fields.
