Mother's Day (from a single mother's perspective) By: Cherie Oakley
I never had some grand idea of what a Mother’s Day should be like. I know some women receive gifts, some are taken out to a nice lunch or dinner, some get breakfast in bed. I think most moms just want to feel appreciated. Maybe a little extra help around the house on Mother’s Day, a card in the mail from their son or daughter who live out of town, a phone call or a text … Words are really powerful, and it doesn’t take much to tell someone you love them, appreciate and value them, and that means so much! Isn’t that what we all want anyway? For me personally, I was asked if I was going to do anything for Mother’s Day recently and I said “No, it’s just like any other day “… See, I’m a single mom.
