So we are approaching another Mother's Day on Sunday. I know I've written about this before a little but I was just sitting here pondering the effect of my own mother on me.

As I sit here wondering about my children (I have 3 by the way), I wonder how I may have impacted their lives somehow. Oh, I know they love me and all that stuff, I just wonder what kind of influence I have made in their lives.
