Zazu's Mother's Day

larc

Well, Yesterday, I told Zazu happy "day before mother's day" just in case I forgot. My youngest daughter called yesterday and asked my wife out for mother's day dinner. Zazu declined because her ankle is still bothering her, and she still does not want to venture too far. My daughter called again today and they had a nice chat. My older daughter came over with some flowers and tomatoe plants, and planted them for us. She said the flowers were for mom, and the tomatoes were for me, an early father's day present. My son stopped by on his way to work with a nice mother's day card.

It is nice to have loving children and a special occasion for them to express their love.

It's great you have considerate kids like that....I look forward to a time when I may be able to too.

But do they really need a special day to show their luv and appreciation....I show it any chance I get!!!!!

Violet,

My children are very loving towards us, and we see them often, and talk on the phone in between times, but I do appreciate the fact that they make a point to all three contact us on special occasions, mother's day, father's day, and our birthdays. In my opinion, everyone needs at least one special day a year, and I think it is sad that the Witnesses can't experience that.

One thing I have never had, is a birthday party, and I would just love one.

Larc, That was very thoughtful of your kids! Please wish Zazu a Happy Mother's Day from me. love, seven

Violet, Speaking of special days-does a husband and wife really need to celebrate their wedding anniversary? They should show their love for each other every day.

Hi Larc,

This was the first mothers day that I got anything. My son has a part time job now and he took me out to lunch today. He told me I could go anywhere I wanted to go. LOL we went out for chicken at Bojangles. Then he gave me a nice clock.

We went to work after lunch, and I came home to a clean house, thanks to the Nicole and Manuel(My other two kids). Tomorrow or Tuesday night, I am going to treat them to a movie(Spiderman).

I don't want someone in my life I can live with. I want someone in my life I can't live without.

I had a wonderful "first" Mother's Day, too! My eldest and her good friend took me and the friend's mother to brunch at an elegant historic hotel! When we arrived we each had a small vase of flowers and a card waiting for us. Katie's friend even got me an "Other Mother"'s Day card! We spent several hours (!) eating and discussing plans for prom, graduation and college this fall.

When I got home, the kitchen was cleaned up and MORE flowers -- these from my husband -- were on the kitchen island. I wasn't allowed to unwrap them until all the family assembled and brought their gifts.
#2 daughter gave me bubble bath and matching scented lotion. My son gave me earrings. #3 "daughter" gave me a homemade card with lovely sentiments plus an old "My Special Person" booklet she had made about me in First Grade when she first came to live with us. My eldest had ANOTHER surprise for me! She had taken one of my favorite pics of me and her as an infant and copied it in acrylics on canvas in art class!!!!

I was so very touched by all of this. Everyone got me cards, too! And THEN.... we went out for Chinese for dinner!

Finally, FINALLY, I was made to feel special. (I'm a Christmas baby, and boy, does that suck!!!) SIGH! A day just for me......

and all you other wonderful Moms out there!

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never
tried before.

Larc, I don't think the year you were married is important either...it's whether you still value and luv each other that counts and if that's what the celebration is all about...why not everyday instead of one day a year.

I always wished I had a birthday party...but then I used to sing that Alice in Wonderland song to myself "A very happy unbirthday to me, to me, a very happy unbirthday to me!" I luv it!!!!!!!!!!! Afterall there is more to Vi than one day...and who wants to celebrate getting older I ask????????????

Mothers and Fathers day are luverly days...my gran always brightened up when she received some flowers from her son....showed he was thinking of her....so I guess it ain't so bad afterall.......

But I'd still be showing my appreciation as often as I could...
