“Ask not what your mother can do for you, but what you can do for your mother!”
-My mom on Mother’s Day
Although I sometimes get so involved in my own life, I forget about the people that mean the most to me, mother’s day reminds me about what it means to be a good daughter.
On this mother’s day, I want to make her to feel really special. I thought about all the things I’ve given her in the past. I could give her a card. I could buy her flowers. I could make her breakfast in bed.
But, I don’t know if that kind of gift can really show her how much she really means. I think what would make her really smile would be simply to talk with her from my heart about the two of us, the past, the present, and the future. So, on this mother’s day… I decided to make her feel special by sitting down and telling her over lunch exactly how I feel. I am taking her to a nice French Restaurant in Long Island, and I’m making sure she gets whatever she wants.
Over lunch, I’d like to talk with her about all the things she’s has done for me and the times that we’ve shared together, heartfelt memories, hopes and wishes. Sometimes, all a mother needs is recognition.
I know what my mom likes, so I also am throwing in a pair of tennis racket-shaped earrings. Although a side gift, I feel that she will appreciate the extra effort, and it will be the perfect compliment to a great lunch.
I love my mom, and today we here on the Maxim Hygiene Green Team encourage you to take a moment with your mom or the mothering figure that means the most to you on Sunday, May 8th to let her know how great she truly is. So, happy mother’s day, daughters and mothers of the world. Happy Mother’s Day!
