Jeff got off the yellow bus and walked to his front door. He held the cards in his hands and opened the door. Jeff shook of his black sandals and looked around his cultured, lavender home. He crossed the living room and slumped off his backpack, placing it on the sofa.

Jeff glided into the kitchen where he saw his moms. EJ, Mom, had her red flannel sleeves pulled up as she washed the dishes. Sue, Mother, sat at the kitchen table, flipping through a Crystal Healing book. Her bright green eyes looked up at Jeff and her thin lips pulled into a kind smile.

"Hello, Jeffrey," She said in her quiet, angelic tone. EJ turned her head slightly towards her son as she continued washing a plate.

"Hey," EJ called, simplistically. Jeff smiled up at the two.

"Happy Mother's Day," Jeff said, warmly. He held out the two pink cards to his mothers with a proud smile. EJ set down the plate and dried her wet hands.

Sue got up from the kitchen table and walked to Jeff with a radiant smile. She took the card gently from Jeff that had Mother written on it.

She gazed at the cover as EJ came up and grabbed the other card. Sue started to read the card and tears pricked her eyes.

Both cards had the same message and Sue had tears streaming down her pale, slim face.

Some kids don't have a mom. Some kids have one mom. But, I am lucky because I have two. They teach me, help me, and love me. Happy Mother's Day. I love you.

Sue kneeled on the floor in front of Jeff and wiped a few tears from her cheeks. She smiled and pulled the young boy into her arms. Jeff hugged her back, nuzzling his head into her soft neck. The familiar scent of flowers and 1978 perfume filled his nose. EJ kneeled beside her wife and hugged the both of them with her large, protective arms.

"We love you too, Jeff," Sue said as she kissed his cheek. EJ kissed the top of his square head. Jeff closed his eyes, letting the love from his parents wash over him.
