Hope everyone enjoys the day being with or remembering the mothers/mother figures in their lives. One thing I love about the world of the Green Ember is that motherhood and mothers are treated with the honor they so richly deserve. Among the notable mother figures in the series:
*Fay, often referenced as the mother of rabbitkind and mother of seers in particular.
*Queen Lillie, mother of Lander Whitson and all his siblings and mother, in a sense, to the whole community of her husband King Whitson Mariner. (pictured below)
*Mother Saramack. 'Nuff said.
*Lady Glen, mother of King Jupiter's MANY children, including Smalls and Emma.
*Sween Longtreader, who we knew for two books only as "Mother."
*Maggie Weaver, who is not known to have had any children by blood, but certainly acted as a mother to the likes of Emma, Heather, and Picket.
*Airen, mother of Louise "Weezie" Longtreader and Layra and sister of Helmer. #LastLordCaptain #BestLordCaptain
*Lynn Hewson, Lady Blackstar, and Lady Elisabeth, wives of the lords of Harbone, Kingston, and Blackstone Citadels.
*Heather and Weezie, who are blessed with the joy of motherhood in the peace of the Mending.
For these and all the other mothers, named and unnamed, in the franchise, and more so for the real women whom they represent, may we be forever thankful.
Yes!!!!! Happy Mother's day
