Mother Day

Mother’s day is a very special day for me especially since I have been living far from my mother for the past 17 years. Also in my country we celebrate mother day in the fist day of spring, March 21 of every year and we always say, mothers are like the ground it brings life to her kids and she sees them bloom like the flowers in the spring. When I was young girl, I always save my allowance to buy my mother’s gift for mother’s day. One day I cam home late after school and my mother was so angry at my but I could not tell her that I was shopping around for her mother’s day gift I took the punishment without complain. This is my first mother’s day with my children after separation with my husband and it was very thoughtful because I woke up in the morning and I found that they wrote We love you mom with flower petals on my kitchen counter.Sometimes you cannot find the right card to express your feelings to you mother or your caregiver so something new like what my kids did will be very thoughtful. In addition on mother’s day, I called all my friends who are mothers and wished them happy mother’s day. I told my kids to remember their baby sitter in NY and call her because she took care of them when I worked so she was like mother to them.-Sireen
