CoB and I were on our way home on Saturday and needed to pick up some wine for Sunday - since CT still has blue laws concerning alcohol purchases. While he went into the packie I went into the locally run drug store next to it. (Yeah, I love shopping at locally owned businesses when I can.) I was the designated card picker, to get a card for his dad to go with our gift - he had mentioned wanting to try a Rose' a while back. So. While I was looking for his card I spotted the single offering of "To Mom on Father's Day" card. I was floored. My mum made a lot of mistakes and a lot of sacrifices and she brought me up all by herself. I can't believe I never thought of it before and made my own card. My someday mother in law continues to come up with cards that she gives to me that signify our relationship. And I love it.
People like to be appreciated, I make sure my mum knows that I appreciate her more than once a year but it makes it easier for people when there is an "organized" day for it too. Obviously I don't have the same disgust for this as I do for Valentine's Day. It is illogical. I know that when she gets the card (late) she sure as hell won't be expecting it, and I dare say she will be floored as well when she realizes what it is.
I can't believe that people are in an uproar to recognize single mothers as standing in for both parents. Hell, next thing you know there will be cards for same sex parents... To both my Mothers/Fathers...
