Happy Gothic Mother’s Day!

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

— originally William Makepeace Thackeray; later by Eric Draven in The Crow

I thought I’d go with a slightly different Mother’s Day greeting: a scene from the 1994 film The Crow in which Eric Draven — the hero known as The Crow — cures a woman of her drug addiction and reminds her that she needs to be a mother to her daughter. It’s a little darker than your typical Mother’s Day greeting, but I think my points across.

To all you moms out there, and especially mine: Happy Mother’s Day!
