I personally don't celebrate Mother's Day, for me it is a greeting card holiday. And since my own Mother has crossed over, there is no reason for me too do so anymore. I have often told my boys, when they suggest going out for dinner, and I paraphrase here....Why would I want to go to an overcrowded restaurant, when I could sit out on the deck and do nothing while someone makes a PB&J, just for me.....so you get the idea.
I have been a big Fan of SARK for a really long time, decades actually. and when I saw her post, I thought, hmmmm, yup!, with a couple quick edits....HEY PRESTO! Thanks SARK!!!!

When I first created my poem and poster “Just for Mom,” my mother did not realize that it would be going out to more people than just her. Once she found out that thousands were being printed, she wanted to scrutinize every line. She loved that it said things like: There is also a line I wrote that says “forgive all the old junk,” that led her to declare indignantly: “WHAT old junk?” To which I replied: “like what you’re doing right now, thinking we have no old junk!” She laughed so hard and the conversation that followed caused a tremendous healing between us, and really put the WOW in MOM for me. I also invite you to celebrate what I call Happy Other’s Day, which includes other people who provide nurturing support in your life.
You are seen, You are known, You are loved.
