One of our good friends called me today and asked me if I knew what was so great about today. I sort of knew where he was going, but he was much more excited than I could get. Anyway, he said it is the last Mothers' Day that I will spend not being someone's mom. In my classic cautious (read neurotic) style, I said that it might not be, since anything could go wrong at anytime with our match. He pointed out that even in that case, the likelihood that another match would materialize before next year is very high.
So I decided to go with his line of thinking. And you know what? It was a happy day!
