most years. I remember one year i was 5 i was in charge of boiled egg and toast for me this was a massive thing.
had to watch the water put the toast in the toaster sister made sure it`s not on to high so it wont burn .
drop the eggs in the water once it was boiling as my sister kept an eye on me and me shouting don`t look at me i can do it .
its was all done to perfection and i felt so proud of my self and i understood the importance of the whole thing it was mums day off a day the family should show just how much they love there mum. it was more or less the same every year i even managed Sunday roast in later years and always got her a card and always told her she was the best mum in the world .
this is 9th year mum & DAD haven't been around but me and Emma still get together on mothers day and buy some flowers exc just to reflect on the past .
Emma has her own family two boys 13 and 17 and they hardly lift a finger on mothers day but they do get her a card and shes happy with that .
its all down to family values i suppose when i was a kid i wasn't afraid to say thanks mum or thanks dad because my dad was the same with his parents always showed he was grateful for being there i know that mothers day has a wider meaning religion wise and its part of lent and also about showing gratitude to what you have today .
i know everyone has a different point of view and that's mine

You guys kind of scared me yesterday. I was reading Matties Blog and he said Mothers Day and i almost freaked that I forgot all about getting something for my mom. Then I remembered he was in the UK and I seen another person said ours was in May.

@jj yeah that was me. it freaked me out too! (until i did some research)
Hello, Dru. It is too bad that your sister's kids don't treat their Mom the way you and your sister did yours. I guess times change and that's too bad.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on starting your blog. I will be following you closely.
