Alan, you are so right! Mother's Day should reflect the three women who decided that safety, compassion and security are most important in everyone's lives. Mother's day should not be remembered as a cash cow!! Make something by hand, cook your Mom's favorite meal, read with your Mom, or go to the park with her. Just show her your love and admiration...she will always remember that. And she will thank God she has you in her life, every day. I know these things seem old-fashioned, but remember, she is from the generation before you...maybe old-fashioned is just what she'd like.
