Ode to Our Mothers
“Mom,” “ma’,” “mommy,” “mama,” and “mum” are just some of the terms of endearment we use to refer to our mothers ... special names that show our unique relationship with her. Our mothers gave us life and nursed us back to health in times of illness. This month we celebrate all mothers on the CSN. Since cancer spares no one, mothers included, we hand-picked a few stories that portray their love, strength, and determination.
