My mom used to call these holidays fabricated. She showed me how to care and love and appreciate family and friends throughout the year not just on birthdays, holidays or Hallmark holidays. This has served me well with friends around the globe and when holidays come around and she is no longer with me physically.

Holidays can be hard when family are far away or no longer with us.

May your Mother’s Day be one of joy, love and happiness in reality or with fond memories. Know their spirit is with you.
