This Mothers' Day, my wife will be honored by our three kids. Our kids will do something really special for her. I won't post all of what they are going to do here, as my wife may see this post and therefore the surprise will be ruined. Some mothers like to eat out. Others like to given a day at the spa or hair stylist. There are some people that have budgeting challenges, and therefore will decide to cook a homecooked meal or given a hand-made card or other personal gift. Some people may decide to do one of those homecooked meals or hand-made cards or other personal gift as a sentimental valued gift, verses anything else. Whatever you do, you should do something for the special ladies in your life in order to show them that you truly care about them or that you are thankful to them for being in your life or giving you life!

[/b]@chocokreme[b] Ohhh, that is so wonderful that you plan to reach out to speak to your mom after having not seen her is such a long time! Maybe your Mom could go to your aunt's house as well and then you could hug and kiss her as well and that would be a truly exciting celebration!

Hi hdjohnson! Wow, that's nice. For me I will send her an ecard and then I will give her a call since we live far from each other. I think showing your mother how you love her and thank her is very special...

hi santosmarichris I couldn't agree with you more. Which is why I will be taking some time out to love on my wife's mom since she is still living.

My dear mother is gone beyond to another realm and I hope to see her again one day. Until then I will have good memories of her. Her birthday was last month and if she had lived longer she would have been 81 on the 6th of April. I miss her still. I have comfort she is happy and taking care of my infant son and infant daughter and my four grandsons who have all passed on. I talk to her often and will write a poem about her and post it possibly on some site. She has no grave but her urn is in a cupboard in my house in a place of honor. I might clean it out and rearrange some of her things in there. Below is my four year old grandsons ashes I know she takes care of him too. I hear them at times thoughts from them. They love heaven and being with Jesus.
I am sending a mother's day card today to my mother in law she just turned 89 April 29th and she is a sweet woman. We have always got along well. I will also get a card for my daughter and each of my daughters in laws and my middle sons fiancee. We plan on going out to breakfast with my son and his fiancee this coming weekend. I will most likely spend part of the weekend with my daughter and her family as well.
My younger son and family has to be out of town Mother's day weekend but he will probably call and send a card and he also has asked my husband and I to a belated mother's day dinner when they get back. My oldest son will possibly call or send a card.
Though they live nearby they have very busy schedules and a large family and some of the children have been ill these past few days. So this weekend is going to be probably spread among three of four of my children and dinner later in the month with the youngest son. They do not forget me and that is good. Meanwhile I will do some shopping tomorrow for a few items I need to get yet for a couple of my daughters in law.
Also got two birthdays more this month and daughters anniversary as well. We just celebrated my daughters 3 year old now birthday was yesterday May 1st. May is a busy month. So is June with 3 birthdays then and father's day.

I think i'll just do the usual greet and kiss her the moment she wakes up. I'm not so good in showing what i really feel. i just hope that she knows that i love her very much. I don't really cook except for rice and fried eggs, but i will try to cook for her on Sunday (May 8).
