Anyone Do Anything Special For Mothers Day?

went to my moms house with my brothers and sisters and we had lunch, did you guys do anything original/special?

 

I went out to eat with my mom and dad last night. Did a little shopping. I wanted to do some stuff today, but my back hurts like crazy. Not enough flowers in bloom yet this year to make handmade flower arrangements like I did last year. I feel like I haven't done enough...

Might make some belated Mothers Day cards and send em out?

 

well i wish happiness to all the mothers on here and on all the places i frequent.

i hadn't really remembered or thought about the day though. the mothers in my own life are mostly long gone now.
my own mother, i forget the year. 2009 maybe. she died six months after my wife did.
and i know my wife died 13 years and 3 days after the day we were married. not sure what year that was.
i've got the documents around somewhere. i'd have to look them up.
i'm really useless at remembering things about people. i know that must seem weird.
i don't think i think the way human people mostly do. some people get offended that i don't. there's nothing i can do to help that. so they just have to if they do.

a day to remember mothers. that's good. but i don't think anyone should get pregnant, or make anyone pregnant, just so they can be remembered on this day.

 

I don't have my mom either anymore, but she did not like Mother's Day. She thought it was stupid.....and wanted to be treated the same way, with kindness and respect, all of the days.....not just one day of the year...or two...birthday.....etc......She had a point....so i don;t think about Mother's Day the same way either.

 

well my mom liked all holidays, just because they were holidays, which made them the only thing that was different from one day to another for her.
when she was alive and i was younger, i tried harder to keep track of such things.
but now, i just really don't try very hard to keep track of such things.
the equanox and the solstice, because they're something natural, and my own birthday, because its familiar to me.
but all these other days, they are things people came up with for various reasons, mostly good, but i don't see very much as depending on them.

 

my town has an art festival every year on mother's day weekend so my mom and I and my sister always go eat lunch then walk around and look at art for mother's day. Its a nice tradition.

 

i took my first beach walk of the year. i wanted to go on a bike ride, but apparently i have to replace a tire before my bike is usable.

anyway, the beach walk had nothing to do with mother's day, it just happened to fall on that day. i did talk to my mom on the phone earlier in the day, but that happens most sundays so it wasn't really anything special.

 

art festival sounds wonderful. art festivals always sound wonderful.

 

So you were the one who started that Melee

^looks familiar. i start so many melees it's hard to keep track...

 

I miss my mama...

 

Dad and I went out to breakfast and I stopped by Mom's stone at the cemetery on the way home. The restaurant was more crowded than usual so maybe some mom's went out to breakfast.

 

That's a pretty good guess, I think.

 

Nothing extraordinary but it was special to me. My son grilled chicken, my daughter-in-law made sides, my daughter made desert. We hung out and the kids played ball in the yard.

After that, I took flowers to the cemetery.

 

I called her and she was really surprised as I'd not ever called her and wished her a happy mothers day. The last gesture of mother's day love came in the form of ice trays I thought was a good gift at the age of 8.

I'm not a bad son. My mother was not the best mother though... she has changed as have I. When I came home from the army she forgot my name. Nowadays I visit once a week. She remembers my name now
