A forgotten day, and may it stay so


Nurses Day and Mothers Day were celebrated grandly last week, but the day between the two went largely forgotten. And that is a blessing.

LAST week, we celebrated a couple of important days. There was Nurses Day on May 12, and then there was Mothers Day on May 14. Both were significant, with the nightingales feted everywhere on Friday and children flocking to be with their mums on Sunday.
