In both my mother's and father's families, on Mother's Day we pray for all the mother's who have lost their sons (and now daughters) in war, all the mother's who children are still away at
war, and all the mother's who children has passed away. These are the mother's of the world that truly need comforting on Mother's Day. My mother and aunts are 90 to 104-year old, all women with children and grandchildren that have served in the armed forces, will simply get greetings and meals prepared for them by their children and children, children. No gifts. Some cards. No trips to the cemetery until Memorial Day weekend.
