Celebrating your Mum
by SaveTimeFor most of us, Mum is just there and not always appreciated for it – we assume she will always be there. And we often forget the number of nappies she changed, meals she cooked, clothes she washed, school lunches she made and school concerts/plays she endured for us – not to mention the squabbles she heard and refereed!
Sometimes, it is good to reflect on the important people in our lives and remember what a contribution they have made to who we are today.
Mothers Day can be seen as an over commercialised token, or you can choose to make it a day when you genuinely think about your Mum (and Grandmothers and other women who have filled mothering roles in your life) and let her know you care.
With a week to go to Mothers Day, we’d love to hear some stories about Mothers Days you remember and how they were special.
My first Mothers Day was very special. We went to the RACV club with my mother, 2 sisters and brothers-in-law. My firstborn was only 6 weeks old and I didn’t feel like I had graduated into the world of ‘motherhood’ yet. I was celebrating the day for my Mum (as I always did!). Imagine my surprise when I was given a token rose because I was a ‘mother’. It was then that I felt very proud, realised I really was a mother and I graduated into the world of motherhood!, and I haven’t looked back! Forever a learning experience I love!
That first Mothers Day is very special – and I remember my first flower in a restuarant making me feel very proud, too.
We wish you a wonderful Mothers Day this Sunday, too.
