March festival missing huge sum

proceeds from the festival was missing and apparently stolen. The March organiza-

Mothers Day is supposed to be a day when
children of all ages take time out to express
gratitude to the women who gave birth to
them and reared them, who bandaged scraped
knees and mended broken hearts, who gave
them the room to make their own mistakes but
were always there to pick them up when they
fell.
But some gays and lesbians — on both
sides of the mother-child relationship — see
Mothers Day as a bitter reminder of bonds bro-
