Here's my little gift for mothers everywhere this Mothers Day, March the 2nd 2008. The CSI teams visit their mums on this special day.

"Mum! Mum wake up!"
"Lindsey?"
"Hey Mum! Happy Mothers Day!" The flowers you thrust into my hands, my darling daughter, make my heart skip a beat. Beautiful daffodils, carnations, and a big yellow bow right in the centre.
"Thanks, Linds! These are lovely!" I'm beaming, I can feel it, that happy, smiling sensation which seems to coat everything in sugar and light. I fight back the tears – I don't want to embarrass my teenage daughter.
When did you grow up so quickly? I remember you as a tiny baby, looking up at me like I was your whole world. Now, the whole world is you world, and I'm just a little part of it. This makes me sad, just a little. But I wouldn't frown, not today, not the one day of the year when I am your whole world again.
