It is Mother's Day, one of the most observed holidays we have. We honor mothers for raising children, for nurturing them, for teaching them to follow paths of goodness.
Mother's Day is about as close of a holiday as there is for observing family values.
And, this year, it comes at the conclusion of a week in which the nation has reflected deeply -- perhaps as much as any time in history -- on whether those of same-sex attraction should have their partnerships recognized through marriages.
Mother's Day honors those who bring children into the world. And, children can only be brought here through a man and a woman, not from two men and not from two women. It is noteworthy, then, that the week in which so much attention has been given to same-sex marriage comes to an end on Mother's Day, a day that -- at least in this way -- attests that marriage is between a man and a woman.
