Respect. It's a good day to remember the impact they had even if they are no longer around to pick up the phone. Btw calling her now.

Is it always May 10 in the countries where it's now? In Spain is the first Sunday of the month.

Before I got married and had kids I thought it was a dumb Hallmark holiday. Now I think it's really significant and important to have an official day dedicated to recognize all the moms out there. Happy mother's day to all the moms out there. And all the guys that made them moms :)

Not everywhere, in Portugal it is the first May's Sunday.

Unless you're in the UK in which case it was the 15th March and you've already done it (or already missed it)

I am happy for all those who celebrate. Quick reminder that not all mothers are good people that we must keep in touch with. For people recovering from a rough childhood, here are a couple of resources that may be useful to you: 1. "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Gibson. 2. https://old.reddit.com/r/AdultChildren+CPTSD+raisedbynarciss...

This is the first year when I can’t do that. Please go do it on my behalf, while it’s possible.

I lost my father last year because of complications from severe Alzheimer's. When I saw this, I thought my mother is still with us, and I need to be grateful for that. I love you mum!

Lost my mom 17 years ago. Don't be a chump; one day she won't be here and you will miss her in ways you never could have imagined.
