Mother's Day is for Mom
Dear Amy: Last Mother's Day, my daughter was a new mother of a 2-month-old baby.
Instead of asking me to lunch or something along that line, she got upset that I didn't ask her out to celebrate her new motherhood. I had sent her a card.
Instead of spending time with me, she went out for the day with her father, which hurt me a lot.

The annual celebration is the restaurant industry's busiest day of the year. And chefs and owners saw a sprinkling of hopeful indicators for today, which could mean the industry is setting the table for a comeback.

Perilous peaks an aircraft graveyard
Almost three years after a glacier 70 miles east of Fresno surrendered the first of two mummified airmen, their 66-year-old crash remains one of many enduring aviation mysteries in the sprawling Sierra Nevada.
Hundreds of military and private aircraft have fallen here, victims of some of the world’s most dangerous winds, sudden storms, no-way-out canyons or even their own mistakes.
Sometimes planes simply disappear. Adventurer-millionaire Steve Fossett, for example, may have crashed in the Sierra last year, but no trace of him or his plane has been found.

Burying a child one bone at a time
How many times can you bury your child without going mad?
It's a question that has haunted hundreds of Bosnian mothers facing an agonizing dilemma: As researchers identify remains scattered around mass graves from the Srebrenica massacre, do they bury the first few bones or wait potentially years for a skeleton to come together?
Many choose to bury whatever fragments turn up first. Then another bone is found and they have to reopen the grave. Months later researchers find another piece, and then another - and each time, the women say, it feels like another funeral.
The original Mother's Day was started by mothers to bring warfare to an end, not as a day of extravagant shopping.
Julia Ward Howe, the author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," wrote the original Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870 calling upon the women of the world to unite for peace. She had just witnessed the carnage of the American Civil War and the start of the Franco-Prussian War.
This Mother's Day, celebrate the spirit of the holiday by giving your mother an e-card with a donation to No More Victims in her name. No More Victims, a nonprofit organization, brings war-injured Iraqi children to the United States for medical treatment. Help bring Salee, a 10-year-old Iraqi girl who lost both of her legs in the war, to receive surgical treatment and prosthetics.
Visit www.mothersdayforpeace.com and enjoy a powerful message for peace. Fine women such as Vanessa Williams, Felicity Huffman, Christine Lahti, Alfre Woodward and Fatma Saleh have joined in reading of the proclamation and in urging you to make a contribution in your mother's name to No More Victims.
Let's celebrate our mothers and help a child!
