Question of the Day: Tues. May 1

Since the day is coming up, I am wondering:

Do you do anything for Mother's Day/Father's Day?

My thoughts are with those whose parents have passed on, my question is still the same.

My dad died 2years ago, and on Fathers Day, I honor him by visiting his grave and thinking about the happier days.

For Mother's Day: I usually get my mom a plant of some kind (she loves gardening) but since she's moved into a rental now, I don't know what I will do. Perhaps a small bunch of flowers.

My daughters generally try to spoil me, bring me coffee, make me meals, etc. It is very sweet.

We'll more than likely be visiting both of our Moms the night before, taking a plant and card.  Dave is working Mother's Day so that his female assistants can have the day off.  Looks as if I'll have the day to myself.

I normally get my mom a gift and visit her, but this year I don't know. She will have just got back from a cruise and will probably be tired and I don't have money to go visit her (we live in different cities). My dad died almost 5 years ago, so nothing for Fathers Day.

We usually take my mom out for Brunch or something. Fathers Day we focus on FIL since my dad is AWOL.

I send my mom a card and flowers on Mother's Day, and my dad a card on Father's Day.

We always give both of our moms a card. Last year we all went to my mother's place and my sister and I cooked for everybody, but I don't think we're doing that this year. We may take a small cake up to her on Sunday night.

I've never met my father. We did exchange brief messages through Facebook a few years back, but it was strange and awkward and he stopped writing back.

I have a tradition now with Mom where we go for Mother's Day pedicures. (On me of course.) It's a good time of year for it and it's bonding time. Plus she really enjoys it. I usually bring my Grandmother some flowers too.

Larry's mom has passed. We usually don't see my mom on Mother's Day since we just visited with them at Easter :lol3: Will probably do the usual going to the Nursery to get plants for my hanging baskets :bigthumb: A gift that lasts all summer long :heart3:

Same for Father's day, but we usually go shoe shopping for Larry We don't see his father - he lives so far away but see him over the Holidays. I see my father on other occasions too. So I guess we just spend the days with each other and not the parents.

I will send you Mother's Day wishes, Libby :heart3: But you won't be totally by yourself, you will have your wonderful furbabies doting on you :winkblue:

I believe that it is his loss, not yours, hun. You are a very special person inside and out. :heart3: :bigthumb:
