My late mother in law was from the birthplace of Mother's Day.
Grafton, West Virginia.
A coal miner's daughter in a family of 8 children during the depression.
Father died and they had to split the family up to feed them.
I miss her and made sure she saw "October Sky" before she left.

My wife refused to stand a be recognized at church one time with the mothers years ago.
It was made into a big deal at church.
She knew there were women there that wanted to have children but couldn't.
I can't fault her sentiment.
