Author's summary:Ever wondered about Mrs Holmes and what sort of a woman it would take to raise someone like Sherlock? Well, here’s one version.

Reccer's comments: In honor of Mother's Day I'm going to rec my favorite story about Sherlock's "mummy". [livejournal.com profile] jupiter_ash does a wonderful job in showing us a woman raising a child that the rest of the world doesn't understand. Your heart will break along with hers but in the end you can see how much influence a loving mother can have. This is a gen story with hints of m/m. Really the focus is on the relationship between mother and son which is perfect for today.

We ask in the guidelines that "warnings" not be given for homosexuality or slash. Really, the only things we ask that reccers should warn for are character death, underage sex, extreme violence, or rape. If I didn't spot similar warnings in other recs since the guidelines were posted, I apologize.
