Advantages: a wonderful day to say I love you to your Mum

Disadvantages: If your Mum is no longer with you

I hope every Mum had a wonderful Mothers Day. That of course is Mums in England.

We celebrate Mothers Day 4th Sunday in Lent but a lot of countries celebrate it the 2nd Sunday in May. If you have American friends they will celebrate it in May.

I have mixed feelings about Mothers Day as I lost my Mum 6 years ago and Mothers Day meant my Mum even though at the time even I had children.

This year though I could not have had a better Mothers Day.

I have three adult children and we all went for a meal. But it wasnt just them and my husband. My youngest daughter has given me a Grand daughter so of course she is a Mum too. So we could have a double Mothers Day celebration and it was a great great feeling.

My sons partner is expecting and so next year all going well we will have another Mum with us.

When your family have family and their partners have parents it can be awkward how, who, and where to celebrate. This year we arranged that it would be with us and then in the afternoon and evening with their Mums.

Next year, hopefully and I know you cant take things for granted, we are going to have one big altogether celebration.

Sharing Mothers Day with your daughter for the first time is very sereal and I love it.

After my Mum died I thought the only way to survive Mothers Day would be to hide away in a cupboard all day but then you start to think of the lovely mothers day you had together and smile and thankfully I did tell her I loved her on Mothers Day and on others too.

My own children have given me a lot to smile about over the years with Mothers day. One was my son handing me a bunch of daffodils so proudly in his hand. It wasnt till we went out that I noticed that he had picked them from the front garden and left just one lonely daffodil there hoping I would not notice. I did not tell him for years that we had. Now in memory of that day I always get daffodils from him and not from my own garden and this is worth a million times more than a huge bouquet.

Thank you for reading. x
