She was the one in her family (think there was 12 siblings - she was in the younger half) that seemed to take care of the others when they were ill - or just needed caring for.

For me, Valentine's has never been just about celebrating romantic love. As fabulous and important as romance is, I see February 14th as a great time to stop and give thanks for all the loves in our lives--parents, siblings, other family members, friends, ourselves (go, self-love!) and last Hope Tarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893703735306544507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-54449559339874305462014-02-14T13:35:24.725-05:002014-02-14T13:35:24.725-05:00Hi Mary--

When I first conceived of the idea for the anth, it was really important to me to curate the content to G-PG13 so that readers (and authors, too) would feel 100% comfortable gifting the anth to moms and grandmoms for not only Valentine's but Mother's Day, too. :)Hope Tarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893703735306544507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-16179124793897193462014-02-14T13:33:17.497-05:002014-02-14T13:33:17.497-05:00I should have added a request to omit my name from...I should have added a request to omit my name from the contest.
