Families depend on their mothers for so much: they keep them together. Everyone relies on mothers for support. From keeping up on the dirty laundry to walking the dog at late hours to preparing each meal to kissing band-aids, to listening to countless speeches by our children and spouses, a mother is a wonder woman. We celebrate Mother’s Day in America each year to honor and show appreciation for them. And Sunday is Mother’s Day.

What can we do to show gratitude for all the work done over the course of the year? The answer to that question can be challenging. Can you tell me what mom really wants? What about a night out, or at least a dinner prepared by the family… which is then cleaned up by the family? Would it be possible to ask her what movie she would like to watch today? Is there a favorite of hers? Let’s give her the morning off. The tranquility of her mind shall not be disturbed by loud noises.
Love Costs
Flowers rank up there for all the items moms do want for the day. Alton Florist has a great selection for those last-minute planners. And the store is open Saturday morning! Whether you bring sweet-smelling flowers or a thriving houseplant, her face will light a smile when she sees her gift.
Planning ahead, one can get chocolates and fancy jewelry, too. Sometimes, a well-thought-out thank-you card says it all. She will place it on a dresser to think lovingly on when trying days happen.
Whether you get a gift for Mom or not, be sure to tell her how much you appreciate her, even when you do not say it.
