Mother’s Day has always been one of those special events in my family. I am my mother’s only child and her birthday is also the week of Mother’s Day. (Sometimes it is even the same day.) This year will be our first Mother’s Day/Birthday since my Mom’s cancer diagnosis. It is difficult to live so far from her and not be able to be a part of her treatment, care and support team. So this year, I plan to make sure that we have something special done just to celebrate her.
Of course, since my Mom’s diagnosis, I have started to recount all the advice that she has offered me through the years. The best advice that she ever gave me was to make sure that I instill in my children a love of imagination and creativity.
Little every day surprises like a treat from the treat monster or a glitter trail when the tooth fairy has been there makes lasting memories that can never be erased. Spending hours drawing in the sand or blowing bubbles are what matters most. Making up little songs, dancing in the living room or reading a book will remain long after your kids are grown. That is the best advice that Mother has ever gave me!
