OK, I’m running short on time so let me cut to the chase. Dad, this article is for you. Mother’s Day is this Sunday! Now if your kids are like most kids, then that thought hasn’t even entered their little, ungrateful minds yet. So it’s your job to ‘make it happen.’
Yes, I know that your wife is not YOUR mother. But, she is the mother of YOUR children and needs to be honored by her children and YOU. Here’s the plan: stop by the card shop on the way home from work today or tomorrow and pick out a card telling your wife how much you appreciate her.
Then call the local florist and order a corsage for her to wear to church on Sunday (you’ll need to pick it up before then). Next, have the kids make a banner or card telling your wife how much they need and love her.
Finally, plan to eat out on Mother’s Day Sunday. Don’t even think about letting her go home and cook lunch. Pick her favorite restaurant, do a picnic in the park (you do all the work), or pick up some finger lickin’ good chicken on the way home.
Oh, and one more thing… make sure that you hold your wife tight, tell her how you’re the most blessed man on earth to have such a great wife… and then don’t forget to call YOUR mother and wish her a Happy Mother’s Day.
Have a Mother’s Day Adventure,
Todd
PS – Mom, just a little heads up: don’t expect all the above from your husband or children. Mothering is a thankless job. But HEAR THIS: although your family may not acknowledge it, you are doing an incredible job and are impacting the world every day. Even if you spend most of your days just getting by, you have spent them well… and although they may not say it, they appreciate you so much. So, from this well-meaning dad who often forgets to tell HIS bride how much he loves her, Happy Mother’s Day.
