#67: On Why I Avoid the Mother’s Day Church Service
By · Leave a Comment
Call me selfish. Call me cowardly. Call me overdramatic But I stand by the promise I made to myself about 3 or 4 years ago: I don’t go to church on Mother’s Day.

It started, as many epiphanies do, in the middle of a Target store.
