The month of May signifies many things to many people, depending upon your point of view and frame of reference: it's the peak of springtime (and the precursor of hot, humid months!), Cinco de Mayo, the Kentucky Derby, high school and college graduations, Memorial Day and the Indianapolis 500, to name a few. But we would be remiss if we did not recognize and salute our mothers, wives, and significant others before, during, and after Mother's Day on May 12.
