Mothers Day

May 06 2013

This special day is celebrated around the world and different cultures celebrate it in different ways...The earliest history of Mothers Day dates back to the ancient annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to maternal goddesses. The Greeks used the occasion to honor Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many deities of Greek mythology. Ancient Romans, too, celebrated a spring festival, called Hilaria dedicated to Cybele, a mother goddess. It may be noted that ceremonies in honour of Cybele began some 250 years before Christ was born. The celebration made on the Ides of March by making offerings in the temple of Cybele lasted for three days and included parades, games and masquerades. The celebrations were notorious enough that followers of Cybele were banished from Rome. Early Christians celebrated a Mother's Day of sorts during the festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent in honor of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ. In England the holiday was expanded to include all mothers. It was then called Mothering Sunday. What does it mean to you?How are you going to celebrate this day? FOXY

    My mum has done so much for me, and has always been there for me, including through some really tough times. I don't know if I'd even be here today if it wasn't for her (and my dad). I'd love to get her something really fantastic like a cruise trip or something, but unfortunately student finances don't stretch to things like that. She loves cats, butterflies and owls so I've ordered her a cute mug with cartoon kitties and butterflies on it, and an awesome t-shirt with a colourful tie-dye owl on it (she loves colourful things as well, must be where I get it from). I ordered them from one of those websites where you can pick different designs to put onto clothing, mugs, stickers etc. (don't think I can mention the name of the website here). And I think we might be going out for dinner as well.

    Mum had actually completely forgotten about Mother's Day, as it's a different date for us (Asian background). She's just asked me to take her out to sushi and bake her a cake :P

    I'll be having lunch with 11 of my immediate family, including 3 generations of women. It will be a celebration of all things family. I consider myself very lucky to have a beautiful close family.   Unfortunately my own daughter will not be there, but we'll talk at some point on the day.

    This beautiful world we live on is a big place - especially when your Mum is on the opposite side of it! It's not Mother's Day in the UK, so i won't be doing anything for my Mum but my little boys (6 and 8) will bring me a cup of tea in bed and a cuddle! - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have an incredible, strong, loving and compassionate mother! There is no word to describe the amount of sacrifices that my mother made for my siblings and I! So this year, I am going to devote the whole day of my time to be mum's driver on Sunday and takes her to anywhere she wants :-)

    I know your pain even though I didn't have any kids from my last marriage. I had been there done that, and now I'm enjoying my life at every opportunity :-) Hope things will improve for you soon regarding seeing more of your own children on special occasion like Mother's Day 🌻

    2nd Mother's Day without her. - the first one passed in a blur. Ill be working (not happy jan), but in past years we made a major fuss of mum! Flowers, breakfast in bed, kids (grand kids and us) would put on a skit/dance for her. Ill encourage my own kids in this direction - but....just wanna say...my mum made me everything I am - proud, clever, sexy, flawed, outspoken, empathetic, childlike...and I miss her more every day. - Posted from rhpmobile

    A thought for the want-to-be mums who are not, the ones who have lost a child, for the mothers separated from their children and for every son and daughter who will be without their mother this Sunday.   In my family we've never really celebrated Mother's Day, but she is one of my favourite people and I want to be like her when I grow up. Just filthier.

    I would never have learnt sincerity, love, honesty, empathy or sympathy. It wasn't until I turned 30 that I realised how wonderful mothers are, and how freely they give of themselves for their kids...I would do anything for my mother From a once rebelious delinquent, to all the lovely mothers here, I hope you know that your loved unconditionally.

    That's enough. My mother is constantly described by others AND us as being "amazing, she never stops and does so much for all of you and everyone else for that matter.". She's pushing 80, still that rock in our family's ocean we all swim to for shelter. She IS the smartest woman I know and I am so blessed to still have her. She gives completely, unconditionally and with an open heart. She cuts poems she likes out of the paper and keeps them in her purse (one year I pinched a few and did them up and framed them as a chrissy present). She will ting for no reason and share a particularly cheeky/dirty joke that caught her humour and then chat for an hour and bring you up to date with all the news. She's everyone nominated driver lol was a publican for 20yrs and doesn't drink. Carries serapax with her everywhere "just in case" she needs it and still does the books for 3 of the family businesses!! I love my mummy, to the moon and back forever. Her "Bowerbird" xx

    I have a beautiful mum who is 60 years young. She is wonderful. I come from a matriarchal family of very strong women who have faced much adversity throughout their lives and so are well equipped to be rock solid for their children, without question. (The men in our clan were either alcoholics, absent, ineffectual or died, hence we don't really celebrate Father's Day as it's become obsolete for us.)In her typical Aquarius style mum brought us up to be liberated, independent thinkers and she was one of the first single-working mothers in a relatively small home town, unusual for the early 1970's (when many women were forced to give up their babies at birth.)She has seen us through everything imaginable with the back-bone of two people combined. Including the births of our own kids, marriages, major illness, death of a spouse, divorce, losing family members and everything in between.Mum has been the one, who could always be relied on, both in life and in death when others could not, would spiral into panic, or just fall apart, not only for her own three children, but often in the wider community.My mum has been a tirelessly hard worker her whole life and I have never once heard her complain.She is still an avid daily beach swimmer, gardener and charity worker.I'm glad she is enjoying this time in her life with her many projects and her four grandchildren.Happy Mother's Day, We love you Mum! x
