Dear Editor:
To continue the Sunday discussion of motherhood, also characterized, "pregnancy takes a terrible toll on the female body."
For millennia, civilization has recognized, respected and honored mothers for their acceptance of the joyful-pains and painful-joys of a pregnancy for 10 lunar months. Also their special roles for newborns.
I have never met a human who has not thought of her/his mother as a very special person for having given birth.
Persons compiling genealogy usually find that a direct ancestor was the fifth or later child in a family. Who would be here today if previous mothers had not been so generous? I have an ancestress, mother of seven sons and seven daughters. Sophia, then in her 50s, traveled from Germany to Jerusalem and returned; she did not fly - the year was 1159.
In USA, Mothers Day came before Fathers' Day.
I do not characterize motherhood as "a terrible toll."
