Did you learn these same things from your mother?  Or other things?

Whatever you learned, remember that Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 9.

And whether she is here (on this earth) or not – Mother’s Day is a great time to remember her,  thank her,  share memories and celebrate them.

Actually – every day is a good day for this.
