Don’t get me wrong I am all for Mothers day, but today’s commercial emphasis begs belief. We have cards from daughter and son, granchild. To Grandma, Granny and Gran, even ‘to my sister on mothers day, ‘to my wife’, ‘step mum’, ‘cousin’, even cards from the pets on mothers day and I nearly forgot ‘To Mum on Mothers Day.’
You name it there is a choice of card for every possible combination.
I reckon soon there will even be a mothers day card for dads!
While it may indeed be commercialized (as are all of our holidays here in the US), the meaning is not lost on all. I particularly think the meaning of these holidays for celebrating family (Mother’s Day and Father’s Day) are expecially noted by those with imperfect families. They serve as a reminder of what they don’t have.
Forget the cards and flowers.. all moms want are HUGS!!!
