This is the hardest Mothers Day I have ever had. I listened in church this morning to talks on what makes a mother. All the sacrificing we do that really isn't sacrificing because there is nothing more important or precious to us than our children. I watched this afternoon as Annie protected and shielded her new filly. When maggie would come near the fence annies ears would lay back and she'd squeal her protest and quickly herd that baby away. It's natural to protest when someone comes to take over your sacred position.
