Being a mum is a lot of hard work for 364 days a year. Once a year we have an amazing day called Mother’s Day. Everyone wants to show their appreciation to their mums. So am I. And so are my kids.
As for me, my mum is a bit far away so I am sending my regards in Email / Skype / What’s App. In fact she is very updated with everything that’s going on (sometimes too much) because it’s so easy to be in touch online; and the kids are very much into sending love messages at any time of the day. I get the mental support from her even though we live far away, or should I say – the other side of the globe. For me it’s a must to show my appreciation to her and not take it for granted. She deserves it.
My kids are amazing. Their school runs a Mother’s Day stall every year. They can choose the best present they feel like their mum will love. I am a practical person. I love things I can use, so they will feel proud for the present they chose. This year, Mother’s Day stall was five days in advance, but my kids couldn’t keep the secrets so they came back from school and shared their love with me. They chose the best practical presents I would ever want. They know I LOVE coffee. So my son brought me an amazing silicone cup with a “Mum’s Drink” writing on it, which I was so happy of getting. And my daughter knew we keep losing our nail scissors which we use very often, so she brought a nail care kit in a little pink polka dot bag with a handle and with all the other accessories in it, that we can carry with us everywhere, and we won’t lose these items anymore.
And guess what I’ve got from my loving husband? a juicer I wanted for so long, in order to keep everyone healthy. That’s why I really like Mother’s Day.
Beside the gifts, they all made beautiful cards that really show their love, affection and appreciation to what I do for them 365 days a year, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day.
As they are getting older they understand more what it takes to take care of them (I assume that’s because they need to help more with household tasks). Even though we have one day each year for Mum – what keeps us going is the fact that everybody knows we do our best for our families, and we truly care.
That’s why we deserve Mother’s Day.
