Mother’s Day – Simply Special

Once a year a day is reserved for Mom. But mom could be a grandmother, aunt, stepmother, sister, or anyone who was there in your growing years and had an impact on who you are today.

Shops and stores are full of gift ideas, food, cards, and “items” to celebrate this special day. However, having been a mother, grandmother, aunt, etc. and all of the above, gifts and years have come and gone. Some gifts are very, very special and others are remembered and appreciated. The gifts that are truly a part of your heart are those that brought you memories, visions of the past, and the beautiful years you shared, as well as the “details” that you thought no one would ever remember.

Let me tell you: I have saved every gift, card and photo of my special day with my very special people. They are all forever etched in my heart and with the special needs of today and the world, today’s Mother’s Day gifts are uniquely different.

This year the “details” are more important than ever. They are not only emotional, but vital to those who give and those who receive. The year 2021 is a calendar year that carries the most important things in life, treasures that no one can buy or save. They are open, sincere, and more important than you ever imagined in the past.

This year, the Mother’s Day gifts that really count and are so vital don’t cost money. They only cost time, emotions, feelings, love and more love. This year, when this special day arrives, any gesture is more accepted with feelings that have been dormant for some time, because everyone was so busy, so involved, and yes, striving to do everything for everyone.

This Mother’s Day, give the gift of “you and me.” Point out a special day, event, meal, season, holiday, personal time we spent together, or just “a moment” that was so special it should have a star named after it. That shining star moment or event can be written in stone with an image, a color (flowers, dress, place or time. An old saying of “it’s in the details” is what this Mother’s Day is all about. anus.

Many have lost loved ones to illness, many have not been with us for a while, and yet this is their day, their special time to be touched, hugged, and treasured. It is very simple – matching an object with a thought – and yet that little gesture will be a fabulous keepsake for the recipient, but will give the “giver” something to hold in their heart forever.

This special gift can be the color of a used dress, a bouquet of flowers that you were given, a face that you forgot over time, a place that may no longer exist or a food that you know you cannot replicate. because it just won’t taste the same. Instead of what is missing, enter the details. Write them down, imagine them, imitate them or take them back to wherever you are. Imagination and effort will always prevail over excellence and mass production. Put items in a box, put them on paper, or even create an item that will always be remembered as that special moment together. Grandma’s apron, the dress Mom always looked so good in, the spice that made your mouth water at parties, the moment in history that can never be taken back but is remembered so beautifully in the heart.

This year, forgo the mall, restaurant, or show tickets and replace them with “you and me.” In our minds, time is now more valuable than ever, the person who is still around is a true part of your heart, and those who are no longer here will feel your love, your pain and your need to remember, share and never forget. .

Mother’s Day 2021 – Keep it simple, just you, and that will be the blessing we can all share.
