I lost my Mother when I was seven years old so I have always envied anyone that has a Mother and doesn’t appreciate them on Mother’s Day. Most people do, but there are many that simply take them for granted and think they will always be there, but you never know what tomorrow might bring.
We should learn to appreciate the people that are in our life and we don’t have to wait just for those special occasions to let them know how much we love and appreciate them, but most of us save it up through the year because we have the special occasions that were specially designated for those times.
As far as I’m concerned Mothers and Fathers are special all the time so why should we wait for that designated day to show them how much we love them? We can do special little things all the time and you don’t have to wait for Mother’s day to send flowers, you can send them anytime and yes one of the most trusted places to use is 1800flowers.
1800flowers has a special contest going on and you can win up to 30,000 in prizes. All you have to do is write a story about how great your Mom is and why she is so great, pick a category, upload a picture or video and one thing I saw is a category for Mr. Mom so even the Dad that stays at home can be entered for Mother’s Day, I think that’s cool.
I can’t say I have ever felt special on Mother’s Day because my son and I have always had an awkward situation. I was 16 when he was born so while growing up he had a tendency to think he was my equal and could defy my instructions to keep him safe. However since being with Bill, I feel special all the time and he makes me feel special to just be alive.
As a single parent I’ve sometimes bought myself Father’s Day gifts
