Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day

It’s that time of year again. Mother’s Day. I had a mother, but she died a few years back. But something my mother had started many years ago is still something I cling to each year. Since my mother couldn’t send a Mother’s Day card to her mother, after she died, she began sending a card to each of her daughters, once we became mothers. After all, we were mothers to her grandchildren. I started the tradition several years ago before my mother died. I send a Mother’s Day card to my daughter and one to my daughter-in-law. You can find cards that are meant for both in every store that sells Mother’s Day cards.

Since my mother has died and I can’t send her a card, it’s nice to be sending cards to two very wonderful daughters who are raising my grandchildren. This way, it makes it easier when Mother’s Day comes around because it is still a holiday I can celebrate. Maybe it’s time for you to give cards to your daughter(s) and daughter(s)-in-law, even if your own mom is alive. If she is alive, give her an extra big hug, because you never know how many more Mother’s Days you will be blessed with in the years to come.

Enjoy Mother’s Day, whether it be with your mom, a bonus mom, a daughter or two. Give them a special hug if you can. Or at least a sentimental card. Like all of life, mothers are temporary. Enjoy them while you can. Do you have a comment? Please reply below.

our oldest granddaughter.

Saying Happy Mother’s Day and I love you to my mom has always been a part of every year of my life. For over thirty years I have been on the other end, receiving those greeting from my own children. Even my grandchildren will wish me a Happy Mother’s Day on occassion.

As Mother’s Day is fast approaching, I would love to call my mom and tell her how cute her 22nd great-grandchild, my 5th grandchild, is becoming. I would tell her how well our garden is doing and ask her how hers is doing. Or can she come by and see the new cabinets we had installed last week. There is so much I want to tell her. Regardless of what day it is, even though it’s not Mother’s Day yet.

And I would be calling and texting her and including her in our future plans with our children and grandchildren.
