Happy Mother’s Day From the OurSeniors Team!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our readers, supporters, subscribers, and the moms in your life! This holiday is always a great time to spend with family and to take time to show your mother how much she means to you and your family. I know its tough, but please just try to remember how many diapers Mom changed on you when she calls you and needs your assistance!
Try your best to reach out and also celebrate with your grandmother or great grandmother this is a day for you to celebrate yourself, your mom, and even the caregivers who act as mothers.
Here are a few ideas to show them how much they matter:
Spend Time With Her
Mothers appreciate quality time spent with their children more than anything else. Even if it’s just an hour or two, sitting down and chatting with your mom will mean the world to her.
Tell Her How Much You Appreciate Her
A simple “thank you” goes a long way, and letting your mom know that you appreciate all she does for you will fill her with happiness. Consider writing her a heartfelt letter, leaving her fun and sweet notes to find, or if she’s far away, spend time on the phone or a video call.
Do Something Special for Her
Whether it’s cooking her favorite meal, taking her out for a day of shopping, or just doing something to help around the house, taking the time to do something nice for your mom will show her how much you care. If you aren’t sure what she wants, just ask to make sure she gets something she’s hoping for.
If your mother is no longer with you, there are still ways to honor and celebrate her memory. Here are three ideas:
1. Write a letter thanking her for everything she did for you throughout your life. This can be incredibly therapeutic and will help keep her memory alive in your heart. You can either keep the letter as a keepsake for yourself or pass it down to a younger family member and encourage them to do the same to start a new mother’s day tradition. You could even travel to one of your mother’s favorite places or a place that resembles something she would’ve liked, and burn the letter in remembrance of her.
2. Create a tribute video or photo album documenting all the wonderful times you shared together. Sharing these memories with family and friends will help them remember just how special your mom was. If you are social media savvy, consider posting the album or video that you create to share with family and friends that aren’t nearby.
3. Plant a tree, flower, or an entire garden in her honor. This is a great way to get outdoors, get closer to nature, and do something that will last for a long time to remember the person that made your life possible. If you want to try something else, consider dedicating a bench in her name at your local park or community center. This will ensure that her legacy lives on for generations to come.
No matter what stage of life you’re in, Mother’s Day is always a special time to celebrate the amazing women in our lives. We hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day and that you’re able to spend it in the way that makes you feel the most in touch with your loved ones. To all the Moms out there, we love you!
