It is my birthday today, but this day is not about me. Let me explain...
A few years ago, I learned something valuable from someone I know. He told me that, on his birthday, he always sends his mother flowers and a note telling her how much he appreciates her. So I did something similar today.
My Mom has a herb garden that she loves, so I sent her potted herbs to add to her collection. I try to do this every year. I also wrote her a note thanking her for bringing me into this world and for all the love and support she has afforded me. Without her, I am nothing. And today is about celebrating her unconditional love for me. She has put up with all my faults and is my angel.
I wanted to share this because of the never-failing impact it has on my mother. She is always very touched and, most of the time, tears flow. If you do the same for your mother, expect her to be very touched and cry. Our mothers have done so much for us and they deserve recognition, especially on our own birthdays.
I am grateful to my friend for teaching me this and I wanted to share it with you.
