Mother's Day has long been called a Hallmark Holiday--a day plopped on a calendar that added guilt to our lives and another reason for capitalism to be successful. It meant flower shops would do more business, card and gift stores could run out of stock, bakeries would have one more holiday before the summer doldrums. There was a time when I thought it nonsense. And then it became something special. And each year, it has taken on its own style, its own meaning, and now, it has a place in my heart.
Today ie. 11th May 2008, is Mother’s day.
