Appreciate your Mother.  It is a blessing that has been proven time after time, if your Mother never had children...you won't either.


Happy Mother's Day!  Make sure you buy her candy, some nice flowers, a beautiful card, and take her to a nice dinner. By the way, take your Dad along, your mom had help raising you.


Appreciate your Mother and let her know it while you can. .  I LOVE You , Mom!  Happy Mother's Day!
