It’s Mother’s Day so I thought I would write a post for all the mothers and daughters out there. You might have bought your mum some flowers, sent her a card or taken her out to lunch but have you actually taken a moment to think about all the things she does for you?
Mother’s Day feels a little forced to me. I do not want to be expected to show love, appreciation and emotion on a specific day that someone else has chosen. Putting on an act is not something I am able to do. I like to show loved ones how much I care with simple little gestures and thoughtful acts rather than spending money on expensive gifts (although spoiling loved ones on occasion is an amazing feeling and sometimes grand gestures are needed). Can’t decide what to get your mum? Everything & Stuff have come up with some unique gift ideas.
While I was writing this post I was well aware that this is mainly just my experience of what a mum is. I am conscious that some people might not have the same feelings, and that’s OK. Make your own list of the things you think a mum represents. No matter what type of mum you have, every once in a while it’s important to think about what having a mum means to you. If your mum isn’t around anymore then take some time to remember how much they enhanced your life and appreciate the memories you shared.
I would like to dedicate this to my mum, who is sometimes not appreciated for everything she does.
