Nothing special here. But I will be remembering and missing my mother all day, I'm sure. I do that alot any way. She died in 1980, but all of you whose mothers have passed, you know what I mean! I will still be celebrating and happy, remembering what a good mom I had.
My assistant at work gave me a beautiful hanging basket for Mother's Day and it made me feel so good. She knows I lost my mother and I lost my daughter 16 years ago and thought it would be a hard day for me. I thought that was so very sweet and considerate of her!! But it is not a sad day for me. I love having a special day to celebrate my mother and being a mother, even if they're not here physically.
My husband always gives me roses and a card from Chico, my dog (& kinda like my son, LOL) with a pawprint signature from an inkpad!! I love that!
Happy Mother's Day to all!

One of my grown kids will be here with us on Mother's Day, but he'll have to return to his home the same day in order to get to work on Monday. All my other kids are too far away (over 500 miles) I'll be seeing one the first week of June and another in late June, so we can hold off til then!
Don't know what the husband has planned after church. I really don't care. He's so great to me every day, I don't need a mother's day. Does that sound hokey? Sorry. But that's the way I feel!

Maggiemae: I really feel for you, not being able to spend time with your daughter. It must be very difficult to be that far away, and I'm sure that you wish she would find the time to see you. Hopefully, you will get some Mother's Day wishes on the phone.
To all of you who have lost you mother, I feel for you too. I'm a giant emotional nerve today! Mothers should be celebrated everyday. By far, the HARDEST job in the world. Have a good one, everybody!

Deb,
Could you possibly go to where your mother lives and take her out Mothers Day? If she is not well, you never know how long you'll have her with you. Also, you could take dinner with you as I know eating out can be pricey. I'm sure Janey will agree that you should be with her as much as you can while she is here.
We'll not be doing anything special. My daughter lives 300 miles away and leads such a busy life that they don't come over here. I drove over there (LA) once in March and once in April. Since I'm almost 70, it takes a lot out of me to drive over there. I probably won't be going again until Christmas. In past years I've gone over for a month in summer and rented an apartment, but I can't leave my husband that long any more. So I'll just stay home and have a pity party. LOL.

Deb. What a good daughter to help out with your Mom's doctor's appts. Sorry she is not well. My Mom passed away this passed Feb so this will be my first Mother's Day without her. I have been handling her death pretty well but at times like this, I keep thinking what I should get her for M.D. and then I realized that she isn't here any longer to get a gift.
My dil is a gourmet cook, so our family is going to her house for filet mignon, crab and asparagus. My daughter who loves to bake is bringing a 'surprise' desert. Looking forward to it. Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day!
