I know it's Mother's Day, but I can't help but think about my Daddy today. Anyone that knew him would understand. My Dad made a fuss over Mom's on Mother's Day; his mom, the mother of his kids, widows, and other people that were like moms to his children. One of his specialties that became a Mother's Day tradition was to make chocolate covered strawberries... tons of chocolate covered strawberries. It was an all day event ending in dipping everything we could find.
I still dip strawberries in chocolate every Mother's Day for my Mom, but I mostly think about my Dad while I do it.
