The Howard's of Star Base 12

A Special Mother's Day for Lady Karissa

It is Mother's Day on Star Base 12 like everywhere else in the galaxy.  It is a time to give thanks to your mother for putting up with your nonsense, changing your diapers, and getting up every four hours to feed you. 

Lady Karissa's children are no different from any other children and she has a total of six children, and she is expecting her final children with Lord Andrew Charles in June of 2290.

Lady Karissa is a Pagan, and she doesn't believe in abortion except in the cases of endangering the mother's life, rape, or incest. 

Lady Karissa has three daughters, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane, Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene, Lady Caroline Matilda, and three sons, Lord Anthony Christopher, Lord Albert Edward and Lord Benjamin Lawrence and in a month, she will give birth to her final child with Lord Andrew Charles. 

It is Mother's Day of 2290, and Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard William gather the children to take them to see Lady Karissa on Mother's Day and they have prepared a special family breakfast to celebrate Mother's Day with Lady Karissa.

Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard William have purchased a bouquet of pink and blue roses to celebrate each year of their children's births and they have a special thank you gift to give her.

The children plan to sing to her " Faith of Our Mother's."  and Lord Charles Andrew JR is coming with Lady Sarah and Lady Frederica to celebrate Mother's Day with Lady Karissa.

Lady Elizabeth who is the eldest of Lady Karissa's children leads the children to singing "Faith of Our Mothers."

1 Faith of our mothers, living still

In cradle song and bedtime prayer.

In nursery lore and fireside love,

Thy presence still pervades the air.

Faith of our mothers, living faith,

We will be true to thee till death.

2 Faith of our mothers, loving faith,

Fount of our childhood's trust and grace,

Oh, may thy consecration prove
