Reposting: Some Thoughts on Mother's Day.

I wish my mother is alive today! She died when I was 60 years old. She was then passing her 90th springs in this world. During those sixty years, she looked after me in addition to having me in her womb for nine months. I can still remember her spending tiring days and sleepless nights catering to our needs. Even after I grew up, she never stopped taking care of me. She was a special woman to my life.

Origin of this particular day could be traced back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans. Some, however, refer to the Mothering Sunday celebrated in United Kingdom much before the festival saw the light of the day in US. However, the way the day is celebrated now, is not even hundred years old!

Here are some easy suggestions that I could collect from a well-circulated local newspaper for those who are lucky to have their mothers still alive and who would like to do something special for them on this day!

You may plan a Mom’s day out, just a day trip with your mother out of the city or village where you live. A relaxing day out in the nature with your loving mother could be one of the best gifts to her.

You can surprise your mother by serving her breakfast in bed on this day. This is the easiest way to make your mother feel happy and joyous too. Do you not think so?

Please do not forget to get her fresh flowers. Fresh flowers could be wonderful gifts for Mother’s Day.

You can also shop for her until you drop dead! It can be anything that your mother likes! Take your mother out for a day of shopping!

You could do many things for your mother to celebrate the day. Think about the best one and do that to make her smile!

Spend the entire day with your mother if you could. Love her and pamper her, Remind her some of the stories she told you to put you to sleep when you were a ! Could you imagine a quality time with your beloved mother than this day?

One thing I feel like telling you here that my mother is still watching me somewhere from Heaven. I can see her smiling and loving face.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Hi LookLook!
My mom passed away January 6, 1994, at age of 92. She became a widow at the age of 40 and had to raise her four little children alone, with the help of my father's younger brother, who was a priest (I was the oldest, 7 years old). . We, children, did not realize how hard it was to her. For us, those were happy times...

Glumo....No doubt, your beloved mother did a great job for all four of you single handed after she lost your dad. A mother’s unconditional and boundless love does not allow her kids to know how hard it is for her to raise them in such situation. You were lucky for having such a mother while you were all growing up. Yes Glumo, I agree, for you, those were the happy times...
Take care and stay cheerful always.

Nice post about mothers LookLook. I was 26 years old when my mother passed away. She had just turned 61 and to me that is far too young to die. Both my parents died in their early 60's. I still think of my mother a lot and will always miss her.

Shartaun....You were apparently too young to loose your mother when you needed her guidance most! Your mother also passed away at a young age no doubt. We all know that mother's love is irreplaceable! We all would miss our mothers until we depart from this world like them! Thanks Shartaun for your post! I appreciate. Take care always of yourself
