Happy Mother's Day!

"Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world, a mother's love is not. Your mother brings you into the world, carries you first in her body. What do we know about what she feels? But whatever she feels, it, at least, must be real. It must be"
 - from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce

I know this isn't a flowery or sentimental quote for Mother's Day, but I will use any excuse I can to quote my favourite writer James Joyce. But, even though this quote is quite blunt, it is a reminder of how special a mother's love is. So on this Mother's Day, let's remember and honour the love that only our mothers can give us.
