Dear mothers, you have always been there for us. From before we could walk and talk, you have been helping to mold our lives. You picked us up when we stumbled, and you stood proud every time we met our potential. You raised fire fighters, doctors, teachers and, in our case, cynical, wanna-be journalists who work for no pay and hold nothing sacred. Yes dear mothers, we may poke fun at your most cherished beliefs, and we may belittle your elected officials, but you still love us. Even after we purposely tried to scorn your love with that horrible PTA article, and even after we interviewed that doctor who claimed that “mother’s love” was actually due to an estrogen imbalance and did not really exist; you still love us. You truly are amazing.We think, perhaps, that there is nothing we could do to make you un-love us. This “unconditional” love makes us a better newspaper too. Why, just think, if your love was influenced by the content of our paper, we might only write about puppies and butterflies. But it’s unconditional!! Therefore, we can write the most seething, libelous, slanderous, nasty, derogatory, spiteful, defamatory, racist, bigoted, horribly hurtful and tacky news and you will still love us. What a great concept.
And so, to all the mothers out there who put up with our crap, we at the Regal Seagull want to apologize and say - with all the warmth in our hearts - Happy belated Mother's Day.
