A Day for Moms at Home and in Shelter

Millions of New York moms will celebrate Mother’s Day by relaxing at home with their families and — with any luck — getting some special treatment from their children. That’s certainly how I hope to spend the day.

But Mother’s Day always carries extra meaning for me. After having struggled with homelessness, my two sons, Javier and Tyler, and I will be celebrating from an apartment of our own.
