how will you celebrate mother's day?

I'm not sure what I will be doing for Mother's day this year(2012). My Mother has passed away so all I can do for her is visit her grave. My Mother-in-law we sometimes visit, however with work schedules being what they are I will probably visit with the kids alone. In years past when we had more money and different schedules we used to take both our Mothers out for a nice lunch some where. But things have changed in the past 10 years with jobs, having kids, and just trying to pay bills.

Thanks for sharing this discussion because I forget the date of mother's day. Still I not celebrate mothers day but tell me how can you celebrate. My mother is in other city and I am in other city so no chance of celebration.

Your mom is with you, in your heart, and she would want you to celebrate being a mother yourself. I will start the morning, calling my mom to wish her a happy mother's day, also sent her a card. I'll be receiving calls from oldest daughter (lives in another state) and friends, and will spend part of the day with my youngest daughter, then do some crafting with my best friend, so she and I will spend mother's day together doing what we love.

Congratulations on your daughter & at the same time, I'm so sorry for your loss. I will be working on Mother's Day, but only for a few hours. I intend to spend the rest of the day with my family. My mom & I are not close, so I will probably not be seeing her, but I will wish her a happy Mother's Day. I hope you have a happy one & can focus on the happiness of your relatively new state of motherhood while still honoring your mother's life.

I will neither be celebrating with my Mother or with my children. All of them live too far away for me to visit on Mother's Day. Besides, I am working that day. I sent my Mother flowers that I ordered online. I received a gift in the mail today from my one son and will probably receive something from my 2nd son on or before Mother's Day. Guess all my celebrating will be done in my heart.

Well for me, I don't know what would I feel if I will lose my mom, but I now I don't want to cause i really love her. I will give her gifts and tell her that I love her with all my heart and gives her a tight hug.

Hi genevy04, I am so sorry to hear that you lost your mom. That is truly a sad experience. I am fortunate to still have mine (we actually share a place together so I see her every day). She is 77 years old and the thought of losing her makes me sad. For Mother's Day we will probably go out for a late lunch with some of my family and then to my brother's house to play games. I know how much you miss your mom, but you are a mother and will celebrate the day with your daughter and remember the good times with your own mother. She would want you to enjoy the day and celebrate being a mom! Happy Mother's Day!

I haven't celebrate mother's day with my own mom since I was 21. I'm 23 now and this is my second year as a mom and this year we another wonderful thing to celebrate about. Another pregnancy a new baby to be excited and happy about it. I don't like to make a big thing out of Mother's day so this year I told my husband all I want is a Starbucks Coffee and spend the day with my husband, and daughter as we count down the weeks till our first son is born. We live 9 hours away from our mom's so we are sending them cards to tell them how much we love them and grateful for them bring us in to this world so we can have kids as well. When my grandmother passed away my dad started sending flowers to her grave every year. I haven't had a hard time celebreating mother's day with out my even though we are close I don't let that stop the both of us from having fun on a good day.
