What Does the Mother's Day Mean to You?

By Jane J.W. Adams

Every year in May we dedicate one day of the year to our beloved person - our mom. We take the time to show our appreciation and our love. On this day when we pay all our attention to her, especially if we have forgotten to do that during the year.

It's easy to forget our important people in the daily routine. We go fast to our jobs and back home and often we forget them. It is a great tradition to remember our mom at least that once in a year and let her know that we love her.

It is not our gifts that show our love but sharing our memories and emotions, paying her a visit and spending all day with her. This day has a deep meaning for her and for us as well. It is the time to renew our connection.

The presents given to her, is a symbol of our attention, but it must also show our feelings. The gift is merely a token, but it must have the intent. Some people choose not to give presents, for not to hide the meaning.

The ideal gift may be not the most expensive one but that which the person puts his heart in it. A simple little card made from old important pictures can be one that she will cherish for the rest of her life. Yet a practical and expensive gift can be quickly forgotten.

To find the best mother's day idea, look into your heart. Think about your feelings, think about the things that express them. An old little something, even if just a picture can do that.

No matter how you show your attention, remember the meaning of this day. It is to show your love and to remind your mother that you are there. Also to remind yourself that she is there, and about the everlasting connection between you two.
