What Are Your Mother's Day Memories from the Past?

[SeaBreeze]

I'm not a mother, but I remember always signing a special card to my mother from us kids. We didn't have a lot of money to buy her presents, but we did give her a lot of special attention and love on that day. My father usually gave her a big bouquet of flowers to show appreciation and love. When I was older and out of the house, I would always send her a card and a floral gift. My mother will always hold a special place in my heart. :love_heart:

Do you have any outstanding memories of Mother's Day, either as a mother or child?

My mother (whom I still miss every day) died on Mother's Day, so that's the biggie.

Thanks. It's been 34 years, but every year at this time, it comes back up just like it was new.

My mom always wanted to go to the Zoo on Mother's Day.. Then she planted her garden.

Sorry. How sad.

It's 17 years for me and I miss her all the time.

I remember my two sons making me breakfast one Mother's Day and bringing it to me in bed. Eggs and toast I think. They were so proud that I had to eat it even though the eggs were a bit....emmm... icky. :love_heart:

It's been about 20 years since my mother passed away and I think of her all the time. We usually had a card and little gift for her. It was usually a typical Sunday, otherwise, with a late lunch and a visit with relatives in the evening, which was nice. If we went to church on that day, lapel flowers were given out, a white one if your mother was deceased and colored if still alive.

I had forgotten that custom. When I was growing up, the men wore a white or a colored carnation in their lapels.
My fondest Mother's Day memory is from after I was widowed. My three boys were quite young. Someone sent me a dozen roses...with a card that said, "Happy Mother's Day. We Love you, Your Three Sons" .
