妈妈 always gave us something special. Every day that we're not doing school work, she's holding our hands and saying "you're working hard and you're going to be the best." She never stops talking about her life when it's done. Even on our last days at school, she made sure that I went home in a good way because she always said "good luck, we'll make things right."
On Mother's Day, we were all together as we celebrated and felt the love that brought us back to ourselves. It was so different from what was happening before, but still warm and sweet. She kept saying "no matter how hard it gets, you will have your day" when I wasn't here anymore. That part of her is my favorite because she always seemed so focused on me, even when we were apart.
When the gifts arrived, I couldn't wait to open them and see what she made for us. The first thing was a bunch of flowers from Mom's garden that had been sitting there all year. It looked stunning, and she mentioned that they came from her garden and that each one told a story about their mother. Then there were some cute little socks that she bought me because I was so shy, and she said that these were given to my classmates to remember how much they missed us. After that, the real gift was a nice chocolate cake that Mom made specifically for our birthday party. It had fresh fruit, candles, and a cake with candles on it that symbolized her love.
That morning, I packed all my things into my bag because I knew I wouldn't forget them. I opened the package right away and looked around to find some nice, pretty flowers in the center of the gift box. Mom always gave us something special, and this was definitely hers. There were cute little chocolates, some balloons, and a small photo album that had lots of photos from our first few years together. The last thing I saw was her smiling face on the cake table with all these colorful things around it.
After opening the box, I went straight into the kitchen because Mom always wanted to cook dinner when she said "yes." She made me breakfast right away and then let me help prepare our first meal together. We had a pan of eggs with some veggies on top and started cooking everything together so that we could keep it healthy for her since we were both growing up. I remember when I was 3, Mom always brought me the snacks because they were all hers. She'd put the snacks in the bag under the bed after she cooked them and then let me go get some more every time she saw me. It was so sweet!
That night, as we were sitting together watching the show on TV, I couldn't wait to see if Mom was going to do something really special for us. We had been talking about this all day because we hadn't seen each other in a while. She kept saying "I miss you both," but she also said that her life was always just around the corner and that she would make sure everything is okay even if it wasn't perfect right now. She looked at the TV screen for like five minutes before she opened the door to us, but we were still pretty scared because we thought she'd break something or maybe get a little hurt with all the news we've been talking about. That night, I was worried about how Mom would react when I saw her through that window. I don't know if she'll ever see those pictures in my room anymore, and I can't help but feel a little guilty for not having seen her more often. But this is so special. She always gave us so much to be grateful for, like the love we had, the strength she showed when we were both young and old, and the way she just wanted to make sure everything was okay even if it was hard at that moment.
It's interesting how something as simple as Mother's Day can bring such deep emotions. It's so easy to focus on what you want in life right now, but sometimes we don't take a step back and look at the person who makes those things happen. She will always remember those days when I was trying to talk my friend out of borrowing her bike because she had just started riding it with me. But that's how Mom is supposed to be—different people have different ways of feeling special, but in the end, they all are. This day is a reminder that no matter how small or big the gift is, the person giving it matters more than everything else. That's what makes this Mother's Day so meaningful for me and for her.
