Mother’s Day in the gym

My sister was supposed to spend Mother’s Day in the gym this year. One of her basketball-playing sons had day 2 of that weekend’s tournament about an hour from home. Happy Mother’s Day, sis! She agonized about whether to attend or take a Mother’s Day pass. In the end, she took the pass. As any parent with kids in travelling sports knows, taking an occasional pass is a privilege. And Mother’s Day, of all days, is a good day to do that.
