I took my mom to see Paul McCartney and Cirque Du Soleil’s Love in Las Vegas seven years ago. She says I’ve permanently won Mother’s Day and don’t have to buy her anything ever again. Of course I’ll be taking her to dinner, like I have every year since. I’m not completely stupid.
@rlux me too. almost 2 for me. Even at almost 50 years old with a son of my own I was still undeniably a Momma’s Boy until the day she died. I was very fortunate in that I was able to be with her, my dad and sister as she took her last breath.
There are very few things in the world that I actually hate; Alzheimer’s is right up at the top of the list!
Our family hasn’t done gifts for any holidays for about a decade. My parents live halfway across the country. I’ll call her and talk for a couple hours like we do every month or so anyway.

Two and a half years since mom passed. I miss her every day.

Is Pacific Pearls sole business model to drop ship to meh warehouses?
I thought Mother’s Day was last year. How is there another one already?
@afullbeard You stole that joke from The Simpsons.
@afullbeard I know.
@afullbeard
I have, if the Pacific Pearls arrive in time. Thanks for keeping the present cheap this year, Meh.
I’ll be paying for our character dining at WDW so I’m counting that as her present.
It’s actually pretty unusual for me to have my Mother’s Day gifts already in hand this early. So yes, but no guarantees for next year.
Even freakier, I have Father’s Day covered too — and it’s something I made, so required premeditation well beforehand.
Definitely don’t count on a repeat next year.

What now?
My stepmother and I are not close. I probably should figure out which one is mother’s day and then make some kind of gesture, I guess.

@InnocuousFarmer @PlacidPenguin So when is it?
@InnocuousFarmer @therealjrn
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@PlacidPenguin @therealjrn Very tricky. Chronology. It’s never the time you think it is. Who can say, really, when anything will occur.
