Mother’s Day
“My idea of a perfect Mother’s Day would be to have some peace and quiet. Maybe sit out in the yard with a sweet cup of coffee and a blank canvas to work on my next painting. Then later, spend some quality time with my girls, with a delicious meal and a great movie.” –Grace K.

“It’s been almost six years since my son passed away, but my favorite Mother’s Day was when coffee was brought to me while still in bed, followed by a card my son made for me (he did this every year), and flowers. Then we went out for brunch at my favorite restaurant. Later that day, we would go to the movies and eat popcorn, and for dinner, my son would cook hot dogs and mac & cheese (that’s all he knew how to cook at the time). While eating dinner, we would tell each other jokes.” –Sam S.
“My idea of a perfect Mother’s Day is not traditional. My mother and grandmother have both passed away. My grandmother lived in Mississippi, and we lived in Baton Rouge, so we buried my mother close by my grandmother so she did not have to travel far. When my grandmother passed away, we had to sell her property, and we no longer have access to that land. Oddly enough, my perfect Mother’s Day would be to travel to Mississippi and have access to the property I spent most of my time at as a kid and tell stories to my three daughters. We can still visit the gravesite, but I would really like to be able to show them the pond and gravel pit where I spent my time with my mom and grandmother on the weekends while my dad hunted. Most Mother’s Days consist of staying busy and avoiding that day. Instead of making it about me, I would rather share my mom’s and grandmother’s memories with my girls.” –Jennifer H.

“My idea of the perfect Mother’s Day gift would be to have a full 12 hours of sleep and wake up to brunch, a clean house, and laundry folded. I would like to have a fun day of activities with my husband and children. The cherry on top would be a 100 lb crawfish boil.” –Ryn W.
