for my two favorite moms . . .
Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I wasn't an easy kid to raise, but somehow you helped me turn out okay. Thank you for helping me make more wise choices than not. I love you!
Happy Mother's Day, Anne. Your dedication to your children, your willingness to put what is best for them ahead of everything else in the world, and your singular focus on providing them the most opportunities and the best life possible, even when you didn't get one iota of support from anyone else, — especially those who should most willingly provide it — is phenomenal. You are everything a mother should be. You are awesome. Thank you for letting me be your husband. I love you, Ryan and Nolan's mommy. :)

Your wife is a great mom because she gets the support of a great man.

Oh man, i read that entry and a sudden jolt went through my body. I couldnt believe i had forgotten. I quickly went get some flowers, chocolates and a bottle of wine and raced home (its 9 45pm here).
I walk back in the house and give them to my mom, only to find its not mothers day, not here anyway. Apparantly its different in America, our mothers day was 2 or 3 months ago. Well, my mom was pleased anyway.
Later,
Philip (Ireland)

"Mothering" IS a commitment of self, a state of mind, a way of life. SALUD to all the non- traditional folk who MOTHER even tho they might
not have given birth.....This day honors ALL!

Such a thoughtful guy. :D

I can't imagine a more wonderful gift to receive on Mother's Day, than the kind of praise, and loving testimonial given to your special ladies.
I hope my daughter will feel the same for me when she's older. Anne is a lucky woman to have a man in their life who loves her and appreciates her as much as you do.
Happy Mother's Day to you, your Mom and Anne.

I think that your post was one of the sweetest mother's day posts that I've seen all day (and believe me...I've seen a ton of them today).
Happy Mother's Day to your mom & Anne.

First, I'm going to give you a big, embarrassing "Awwwwwwwwwwwww".
Then, I'm going to tell you that it's so cool that you take the time out to recognize your mom and Anne.
Tell Anne "Happy Mother's Day" for me!

Hey Wil. You are the sweetest. I wish my husband was a writer. He is not big on words but he takes his time to find the right card that says it all. I am going ot get him a calendar for Father's Day. I got a beautiful card and flowers for Mother's Day......last week. However, I will cut him some slack. This is my first Mother's Day. At least he didn't forget.
By the way, I saw you on the Poker tournament with Levar. You were awesome. Also, you are looking good!!!!!!!! Even hotter than half the big stars in Hollywood. Keep trying.

Best Wishes, Wil ! Have a great day with your ladies! *hugs*

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! That's so sweet! You really care about your mother and wife. I think that's the best thing in the world. Hope your mother and Anne had a wonderful mother's day. Wish them the best for me! *HUGS*

Sending my love on Mother's Day,

aaw, wonderful post Wil!

Thanks for sharing your heartfelt gratitude. :) Yummy. Yummier to have several wonderful mothers in my life, too.
Are you familiar with the origins of Mother's Day? Might surprise you. Look for Julia Ward Howe's proclamation of 1870.

Happy Mother's Day, Wil's Mom and Anne. Thanks for raising such a damn, terrific son! We need more people like him in this world!

Awesome. Cool moms. I want one!

......Sounds like Anne is a lucky lady. You seem to get how hard being a Mom really is. She sounds like a great one!
Posted by: Jenn | May 9, 2005 6:30 AM
Wil,
Speaking as a wife and mother, your words are EXACTLY what wives and mothers want to hear! Very sweet!!! Enjoy the day!

Wil, your love for your wife shines through every time you mention her. You both are lucky to have each other.
Being a mother is the hardest, most gut-wrenching, sleepless, emotional, and sometimes thankless job in the world. The pay's horrible and the hours are long, but do I ever love my bosses (my sons)!
Posted by: GeminiLove | May 9, 2005 8:31 AM
Wil,
I hope you and your family are doing great. You know, that is what makes reading your blog all the worth while. You always put others before yourself. You don't find that much anymore. Hollywood is missing out on one good guy!! Second thought, whoever said Hollywood was wise was full of it! The best to you, Anne, and kids!!
