treated to something special to honor and celebrate you. If your mom is still with us and was/is a great mom, I hope you did something special to honor and celebrate her. And if your mom is no longer with us (like mine 😢 🕊️), or if her parenting left a lot to be desired, (((hugs))) treat yourself to something special, or at least be gentle to yourself today.
In related news, Bro texted Sis and me to show us the beautiful pansies he put on Mom's grave. He leaves a pot or planter of something living every year on Mother's Day or her birthday, which is lovely...but a) it's against the rules at this particular cemetery (they ask that after the initial interment and graveside service, graves be decorated with artificial flowers in spring, summer and fall and wreathes in winter) and b) since he lives in an apartment and Sis is in NC, it falls to be to collect the poor living flora and transplant it somewhere in our yard where it will eventually wither and die because I have neither the talent nor the desire to nurture growing things.
