This fearures on the Latest from Gransnet and I have just booked in to the restaurant as my 2 daughters are mothers.
Mother's day was an emotive time for my mother in law after my wife passed away ( her only child ). My mother in law outlived my wife by 4 years.
We felt she was still a mother so we took her out for a meal and got her a card and flowers.
She liked a particular restaurant although they did nothing special for mothers day but we took her there as that was where she wanted to go.
We allways wondered if we were doing the right thing.

There's absolutely nothing more a daughter could do than my two sons do for me - and not only on mothers' day. And I certainly don't mean they are 'mummy's boys'. But of course both have the influence of a lovely partner.

I supose we were lucky our parents lived close to each other.
The one time we invited our parents to a meal in Oxford for fathers day.
I did wish I had not done do as Dad had an accident going back home and it wrote his car off.
A drunk driver came out of a give way sign.
Dad was not bothered about his car and nobody was injured but he was annoyed that somebody could have been seriously injured or even killed by this dangerous driver.

Here in Italy festa della Mamma (mothers day) is in May but they celebrate festa della donna on March when traditionly all the women (mothers or not) receive a bunch of mimosa!
