Whether it’s your mother, grandmother, wife, sister, aunt, daughter, niece, in-law or special friend, we all have somebody in our life who’s made a difference! There’s that special female who stands out. For some, you are fortunate to have multiple females in your life.
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10. How will you acknowledge that special person?
I think the most popular gifts are cards and flowers. For many, it’s sharing a meal. Have you ever received a picture drawn by a child? Can it get any better than that? An occasion expressed through the imagination and creativity of a child is one of the greatest gifts ever!
My son has always made Mother’s Day special. Recently I found some of his homemade cards tucked away in a drawer. As I looked over them, I chuckled, smiled and reminisced about the days of his youth.
One of the cards he made equaled 12 pieces of paper taped together. At first blush, it looked like a banner, but then I noticed the fold mark making it more like a card. The outside read, “Happy Mother’s Day”. On the inside he wrote a letter telling me what he had planned for the day and announcing that he made breakfast (cereal, milk, baby carrots and grapes). There were many spelling errors and some of the letters were backward, but I still knew what he meant. He signed it, “I love you (‘love’ was written nine times). Love, Matt”.
Yes, baby carrots for breakfast … that’s my boy!!!
There are a number of women in my life who deserve recognition. Not all of them are mothers, but they are all loving and caring individuals. To them and to all of you mothers who read my blog, I wish you a happy and memorable Mother’s Day! May you have baby carrots, too.
Who is the person or people you will send happy wishes to on Sunday? What are some of the ways you celebrate? Do you have family traditions?
