I blogged about this a few days ago, but the more I watch, the cooler it gets. Go check out my friend Hugh's Mother's Day Gift to his wife on her first Mother's Day. Specifically, watch the video. It'll get you. And if you're able, please make a donation for Breast Cancer.

To summarize: Hugh's wife Amy was born in 1980. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was pregnant with Amy, and was told she wouldn't survive if she didn't terminate the pregnancy. She refused, giving birth to Amy. She celebrated Mother's Day that year, but died of breast cancer the very next day.

My Mom later told me that she knew Amy's Mom and was on her floor in college -- described her as a darling, fiesty girl whom everyone adored. Small world, eh?

As a Mom, I can understand how you can love your child so much that you would give your life for theirs. In honor of Amy's Mom who gave her life, in honor of my own wonderful Mother, in honor of my wonderful Mother-in-Law, in honor of my Grandmothers, in honor of all the other amazing women who have influenced my life -- I share this link and request with you. Please go check it out!
