Since today is Mother's Day in the US (and in all other countries that celebrate it on the 2nd Sunday in May; I know in Ireland and the UK (and many other places), it's three weeks before Easter Sunday - I didn't know how many different days it was celebrated on; see for yourself:

I wanted to honor my mother with this post (and hopefully other mothers will be honored similarly with posts after mine - that is the plan anyway). Of course, I would only be doing this here if U2 and my Mom had a connection, at least in terms of fandom - there is.
