It was a Mother's Day weekend...the one in 1995.  I had had my first surgery in 1994 and my labioplasty over Spring Break in 1995.

I tried to link to this story a couple of days ago and found it had been removed.  So I have reproduced it here, sans the red text on black background and with some updated links, so that I may link to it in the future.
