Isn't that the truth?? That says it best! I saw only one of my children on Mother's day but they all called and started with "Happy Mother's Day, Mom"....and that meant the most!!
I think you are so right, Sue, it's the lovely notes inside that mean the most. I just wish that my kids wouldn't go to such expense to give me such wonderful gifts. It really isn't necessary and sometimes it is a hardship on them. Why they think it is necessary, I don't know. A really nice note is quite enough for me. Still, I do understand as I would always get some little something for my mom, but it IS the sentiment that really counts. I absolutely loved getting a phone call from each of my kids all in the same day. That only happens one a year. That is what makes Mother's Day so special to me. I love you all so much and it is so nice to know that you all love me right back.
I was lucky and got both this year. Really cute hands on both ends of a long strip of paper saying, "Mom, I love you this much!" from all 5 of my children. I am loved! A lot!
LOVE the roses and the sweet note! I'm glad you had a great Mother's Day! It's one day out of the year that we can count on the words that tell us what we do matters! :)
So sweet to be given roses and a card with nice things inside.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day late.
Looks like a great day.
Happy Mother's Day, Sue! Those roses sure are lovely, but the words and actions really are the things that make it a wonderful day, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a great day! Love those notes. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you received proper honor!
ReplyDeleteSo true!
ReplyDeleteMother's day is a great day to be a mom- it's those other 364 that can be iffy sometimes ")

ReplyDeleteIsn't sometimes the afterglow better than the actual day? To me it is because I can think about all the kind things they have done for me.
ReplyDeleteYep - more than dinner or anything else I love those phone calls and cards. Roses would be the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
