So today is a big feast day for Mary. It’s the Feast of the Assumption.
If you aren’t sure what, exactly, that means, you’ve come to the right blog! Check out the post I wrote last year, which gives a brief explanation of the Assumption.
If you’re totally up on your Assumption facts — you know, if you really listened to those nuns years ago – you might want to check out the post anyway.  In it, I give my thoughts on how this day is hugely relevant to anyone who has ever washed, fed, clothed, or hugged a child.
And –Â if you can –Â Â try celebrating this day by giving your own mom a hug. Â Â I bet that would make Mary smile.
