@chienfou Hey! I’m younger than you! (but only a year or so )
I was a late-in-life surprise for my newly married parents. My (half) brother is 17 years older than me (I have a niece who is less than a year younger).
Yes a brunch would be nice, BUT more importantly as chienfou, stated: Time Spent, especially if it is Physical one on one, in person time, if not that a video call/ voice call.
I know there are a few that their Mom is no longer present with us. Yes I would love to spend more time together with my Mom, I was her caregiver until her care got beyond my skills.
If your Mom is alive, be sure to appreciate her especially for Mother’s Day, but don’t wait another year to do it again. She didn’t take care of you just once a year, did she?

I’m a mother 5 + 5 non related daughters 2 of which have lost their moms. The girls all call me their “other mother” which I embrace with joy! My girls all give me their time when they can; they are all very busy! The ones whose moms have passed are the ones that text me first thing in the morning on my birthday and Mother’s Day. They know what the loss is and I help fill the space. They know I love them and I know they love me.
So don’t waste the time you have, visit mom as much as you can while she’s here!
Yes, time with her is the most important. Of course, that could include a brunch, but as indicated by others, the time should be given more than once a year.

Time spent… (Be it physical presence or even a phone call)
@chienfou I was coming in to say the exact same thing.
@chienfou while you still can.
@duodec
that trip has already sailed. 8 years ago for Dad three for Mom.
@chienfou @duodec For me, 43 years ago for Dad and 23 for Mom. Feels like forever…
@duodec @macromeh
WOW! Did they die particularly young or are you just an old geezer!!

Ok makes sense.

I’ll echo time. When your mom is gone you won’t wish you’d bought more flowers for her. You’ll wish you’d sat and talked more. Now call your mother.

Me! Only thing that would make it better is if my brother were here

All those things are quite nice. I find that if you have a house fix-it dealt with mighty considerate, but that’s just my personal opinion.
I lost my mother many years ago. As for my wife, it’s whatever our kids come up with (the torch has been passed
).
Not having to do a thing, and to feel no guilt about not having to do a thing.
