When you were little, she kissed your owies and made your booboos feel better. And even now, she’s still there for you, loving and comforting you in a way that only a mother can, and for that, she deserves the world. Now that we’re all adults (or at least try our very best to be), we get so caught up in our own lives that we may not always remember to call her and tell her, “I love you.”
Luckily, she gets that. She sorta knew it would happen once you–finally–left the nest. While we should be showing that one special woman in our lives our appreciation every day of the week, Mother’s Day rolls around once a year to remind us that it’s time to give a little love back to the woman who always gives it to us, even when we do forget to shoot her a text to let her know that we’re still alive, just very, very busy.
With the holiday being less than a week away, you still have enough time to get her something special, like a monogrammed necklace so she can keep a piece of you close to her heart, no matter how many miles away you are. And you can never go wrong with a candle that smells just as sweet as she always does, a classic bouquet of flowers, or a rose-scented perfume that smells just as pretty. If your mom’s the techie type, gift her a Kindle to keep up with all of her favorite books or a nice, big tote to carry it around in.
