A day to make Grandma happy
This Mother’s Day, don’t forget Grandma. Regard less of her age and state of health, your grandmother deserves special attention too, and there are thousands of ways you can give her some. Just remember that it’s usually the simplest treats that make her happy.
Whether or not you can organize a family get-together, take advantage of Mother’s Day to share quality time with your grandmother. Have a meal at your house or at a restaurant,
or picnic together at a park. Take
a walk or an outing in the car; visit a mu seum or go to a concert.
These are all activities that
your grandmother will re mem ber for years to come. Is your grandmother housebound? Bring her a small cake or other dessert she really likes and take a moment to enjoy it with her. Make her laugh, and talk about things that are close to her heart. Ask for her advice, and make sure she knows that you love and care for her.
A photo can be another way to please your grandmother. Give her
a recent photo of yourself or the whole family or a souvenir photo that will remind her of a wonderful time. If it’s framed, offer to help her hang it on a wall. Other great gift ideas are a soft cashmere shawl to keep her warm, a personalized mug that she can use to enjoy her favourite drink or a nice cushion to support her back. Above all, don’t miss this opportunity to visit her; on Mother’s Day, your presence will be her most beautiful gift.
Your grandmother deserves special
attention on Mother’s Day too.

Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to express gratitude to our mothers for everything they have done, and continue to do every day. They give so much, all the time; that is why so many of us want to say “thank you” by offering them a gift on this special occasion.
A gift with no feeling behind it can ring false, though, if Mother’s Day is the only time of the year that a mother is pampered by her family. Authenticity and con sistency are the best ways to convey gra titude. A real thank-you goes straight to the heart and is more appreciated than the most spectacular of gifts.
ALL THROUGH THE YEARMother’s Day isn’t the only time of year when we can express love and gratitude to our mothers. Even if you have never been very demonstrative, try to show your love with lots of small gestures now and throughout the year to come. Be more attentive to the things that your mother does
for your well-being, and take into account the lengths she goes to in wan ting to help you do well.
Try to understand that these little things she does are her way of telling you how much she loves you. When you realize how often your mother communicates this to you in her own way, you’ll want to reciprocate and express some gratitude. Mother’s Day could be the time to start over, if you’ve had a few hurdles in your relationship. Dare to take the initiative; it is sure to touch her heart.
Dare to express your gratitude

For a woman, starting a family at the age of 20 entails becoming a mother and becoming a woman at pretty much the same time. It isn’t easy to take on these two roles simultaneously, so early in life. Learning to be more independent while looking after a newborn baby is a heavy responsibility. Fortunately, many young mothers can count on their own mothers to give them invaluable advice and support.
Regardless of the children’s age, motherhood at 30 means, for many, juggling motherhood and career. Time is compartmentalized, with little of it to spare for leisure and rest. Every moment has to be skillfully managed and distributed fairly between children, spouse, friends, and family. At the same time, there is a sweet joy in seeing the future take shape.
By 40, mothers are more experienced, stronger, and flexible. They have already lived nearly half their lives! Under standing, patience, and humour are key words for these moms who are no longer trying to be perfect. With their maturity, mothers in their 40s know their own depths and how to draw on their inner strength.
At 50, moms blossom. Their children have grown into teenagers or young adults, and the empty nest means being pushed to address their own needs as women, not just as mothers. It is a time to discover the excitement of stimulating challenges.
At 60, still overflowing with love to give, mom makes the most of her new life by choosing how much of herself to give her adult children, this time as a grandmother. It’s a new role, freer and more permissive, one in which she will reap all the rewards of a lifetime of hard parenting work.
Happy Mother’s Day to All You Moms!
Being a mother lasts a whole life
