Unfortunately I work every Sunday so I usually take Mom out for lunch or dinner the next day.

On Mother's Day, I usually go visit mom and my other siblings would come as well. We would have lunch/dinner and just relax and talk since we live so far apart. But it's like Christmas for her!!

My mom passed 18 years ago this month and my grandmother passed nearly 25 years ago.  My hubby will take me out to dinner.  Usually, I buy a Chinese dinner, but my cousin just opened up a restaurant and I think I will go by there and pick up a plate. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow:

I love spending time with my family on Mother's Day, it doesn't matter what we do as long as we are together.

I still have my mother (praise the Lord). We are a family of 8. Most of the now married sons/daughters live in the same city. I live in a different city. We all get together, or most of us do, for a BBQ and mother's day cake. I am so blessed to come from a large family.

Back home in my country. We called it Mother Mary Magdallen so  we have to go to church and pray. I came here and learned that it was for mothers day to every mothers. Or maybe I was misunderstood. But yeah back home we have to go church to pray to Mother Mary..

I understand that any anniversary of someone death can be hard to deal with. I can only pray this will get easier for you as time heals all wounds. My parents are both gone and now mothers day is just another day to thank other ladies in my life right after church since it falls on Sunday.

Aggie49 I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I know it makes it difficult on Mother's Day.  My mom is still living but in poor health, my father passed away many years ago.  On Mother's Day my whole family spends time with my mom, prepares a nice dinner for her and just enjoys her presence.  :(

My mother passed away 10 years ago so I always make sure to get to the cemetery to take her flowers!

My Mom passed away 12 years ago and I still miss her. We usually get together with the family but with one Mom in a nursing home we're just going to go visit her.

First and foremost, I am truly sorry for your loss. I mean that. I can't imagine life without my mom around being there for support. To answer your question, this year I want to do a spa day, cook for her, and just spend quality time together as well. I also call all the mothers in my life to tell them I love them!

My Mother's Day is just about like every other day anymore.  When my Mother was alive I used to have her and my dad for dinner.

Mother's day will be spend with the family and mother of my children together with other extended family members. My mom also past away back in 2001 and even though she is not here with us. We will remember and honor her by how we live our lives. By the examples that she taught us. Enjoy your mother's day. Don't be sad, because she lives inside of you and soon you will see the same resemblance through your children and someday grand children!!!

It is really quite here and I don't want to go out for mothers day unless it would be with my daughter-in-law. Mother passed away a long time ago and both of  my sons have passed also. So it is like I said very quite.

My sibling and myself take out my parents to dinner and we get her random different things. She's much harder to show as she doesn't have many material wants. The main thing is to spend time with her. Of course we see her quite often I guess we have a lot of Mother's day if that's the case.

I go to church with my family, then in the afternoon we do something I like, such as bowling, then will order take-out and have dessert and open presents.
