Looking for Mary

by Beverly Donofrio

  And so I stood with all the mothers, and as my eyes filled with church tears, I thought, I have to thank Jason for this.

  When I got home, there were four messages from my son; he’d been trying to wish me a happy Mother’s Day.

  When I called him back, I said, “Jase, I had a revelation at church this morning. I want to thank you for making me be a mother.”

  “You’re welcome,” he said. “It’s about time.”
