I got my mother's day present early... A $15 off $99 coupon to circuit city.  Came in the mail yesterday and hubby threw it at me and told me to never say he never got me anything on mother's day. (he never does) What is everyone getting your mother?

My mom's birthday is a few days away - so since her birthday and mother's day are so close together, we don't spend a lot of money on mother's day. I've got her several gifts for her birthday, and I will send flowers for mothers day. However, we are (all of us kids and in-law kids) are getting together this weekend (sans any bad weather) and we are painting the entire outside of her house, and de-weeding her flower beds - something she and dad can no longer do. She said that would be the best birthday/mother's day gift ever. So, she will indeed be quite happy.....

That sounds like a great idea! This is hubby's first mother's day without his mom..so I'm expecting him to be moody and probably just let the day go by unnoticed. Which is fine with me, because I know how close him and his mom were. It was a hard holiday season without her. I'll have to find something to send my mom or I'll never hear the end of it from her.

A phone call and flowers if they live far away are VERY nice!! If they live close enough...take her out to lunch and a small gift is even better!! My Mom passed in '99, so I do something different with her, but we do it together so it's all good! 49 Flings Flung and WAAY more to come!Female in case you don't know LMAO

I pay to keep up my 84 year old Mom's health insurance all year instead of buying her gifts. She has 38 grandkids and 40 some great grandkids and 1 great great grandson. Needless to say she does not need more junk. And as for me, I hoping my 3 kids and 6 grandkids send some cash my way (joke). I am leaving on a cruise for mom's day.. Best present I could give myself  If I stay home they would all come and i'd be the one cooking for them and cleaning up after.

I can't say I know how it feels, because I still have my mother. But I've watched my husband go through losing his mother, and it breaks my heart to see someone hurt so much. If you ever need to talk, my PM is free always.

I always send my aunt(father's sister) something on mother's day because she is my "foster mom" (she's been my one to talk to when things go bad with my own family. She knows how messed up both my father and mother are).

Sorry to hear that; I know how you feel. I lost my mother on Christmas Day, 2006. It's OK to grieve, but when the holiday season comes around, take special consideration to appreciate the family and friends still in your life. And they'll appreciate you, too.

It's normal to be mad at the people around you...you don't want to be close to them because you're scared they'll die too. But remember, they still love you and are hurting just as you are. Maybe not as much as you are, but they are hurting. Try not to take your grief out on them.

I know how hard it is not to have Mom around....and then to have Mother's Day on top of that  Here's what I do: I get a few pink candles, a couple nice placemats and some nice incense...I use Sweet Rain...then I set up a little area outside (weather permitting), make some nice tea and light my candles and incense and just sit there sipping my tea and connect with my Mom. She is there...I can feel her. Sometimes I can feel her touch my arm or brush my cheek. You HAVE to be open to this though. If you doubt it, you'll miss the signs. Please believe me when I say your Mom is always around you!! You might not realize it, but she is. Sometimes, you'll catch a scent of her favorite perfume or flower... or you might feel like something brushed by you...rarely is it a big HEY HERE I AM!!...but there ARE signs! 49 Flings Flung and WAAY more to come!Female in case you don't know LMAO

I plan on the flowers and phone call.... plus my sister and I are splitting a mothers day and fathers day joint gift. It's a beautiful quilt from L.L. Bean and my sister also mentioned getting them shams. It'll be tough for my parents, though, as this is the first year I'm across the country from them.

Yea, I know she's always with me, and thanks for all the kind words, but it really doesn't make it any easier. I've been trying to go back home about once a month (I live 400 miles away) to help my sister go thru some of her stuff and we end up in a crying fest or laughing so hard over a memory. I keep feeling every day that I've got to call her for something and then I remember. I was in the store the other day and saw the Mother's Day cards and had to leave. But I know it will get better, it's just not right now. Here's a memory I'll share. I was way ahead of Thing Fling here, I used to send my Mom mystery boxes. I'd find stuff I thought she'd like, flavored coffees, scented candles, little knick knacks etc.... and I'd send it off to her every month or so. She never knew what to expect when the UPS guy showed up at her door. A couple times I had my sister deliver take out dinner to them. And she never knew when I'd pop back for the weekend and just show up at her door. I was famous for that.my family tree
