On today's Mother's Day Special, we have a two-parter. In Part One, Liz and Lian share all of the Mother's Day messages you posted on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.  Thanks to all who shared with us there. In Part Two, we interview Julie's daughter-in-law Vera Ogorodnikova.  Vera is raising her three children in Dallas, Texas but she grew up in Kyrgystan, a former Soviet republic.  They did not have Mother's Day there, so she's really get to love the whole Mother's Day concept. Plus, an update from Monica on her new job search and our own remembrances of our mother.  Learn more about your ad choices.
