THE SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY

Naturally, I don't do anniversaries because I see it as a waste of time and resources. I used to think that the money wasted on these celebrations can be channelled into investments and profits will be made.

Well, this mindset changed when I met my previous girlfriend. Though things happened between us that are unforgivable, I still miss her because of the changed she made in my life. Used to be a very strict, straight forward and focused person but I became soft, and I don't know if I should regret it or be happy but all I know is that I'm living.

When I met my girlfriend, m perspective of the world changed and I started celebrating things, including small wins. It pains me but she forced me and I enjoyed it though. Hehe

I honestly did not vote for this topic to come out as the topic for the weekly prompt but I guess writing on it is inevitable.. hehe I didn't vote for it because it brought back memories and that's why I talked a little about my past relationship.

Anyways, have learnt to appreciate myself to an extent. I'd love to post about my anniversary with my precious girlfriend but life happened and well, our separate ways was our destination.

The one anniversary I will love to celebrate this year is my mother's birthday.

I have been absent during her birthdays and I have been very hurt. Seeing my family celebrate my mom without me is a pain I endure. I show nonchalance but deep down, my heart bleeds because I'm absent. I love that woman with all there is in life and honestly, she is the best life ever gave me.

Her birthday is by next month, March 20 is the day.
This is the day she was brought into this world and I respect that day to the max. Like I said, I'm his over serious type that shows no emotions, but deep down, I feel sad when I am not present to celebrate my mom.

WHAT IS THIS ANNIVERSARY FOR ME?

Everything. It is everything because my mom don't forget to call me on my birthdays to wish me well, pray for me and give me trailer loads of advice.

She is always there for me and this will be a way of showing her how I love her and also, it will be payback. Hehe.

My mom is ready to advice me for 3 hours straight without rest. I think I will give her a taste of her medicine so she will know what it tastes like 😅 it will be fun.

MY PLANS FOR THE DAY?

Currently, my head is not in to plan anything because I have my final exams to write by next month. It start on the 12th - 16th of March. Based on this, I have no plans for now until I finish my exams.

Four days is too much for me to make plans. One thing I know for sure is that I will not celebrate the birthday in a load way. Just an indoor celebration with friends and loved ones. I just want to see a smile pattern in her face that has not been there for a long time.

I don't know what gifts to give her yet and I think this is where I will have a problem because I have been away from home for about 6 years now, so i have forgotten the things she has interest in.
I'd love I if you could help and suggest a birthday gift for my mom.

Thank you

You seem to still be in pain due to your last relationship, so sorry about that. For your mom's birthday, I am sure she will be so glad to have you around and I do hope you come up with something nice as a gift to her.

Though I hate to admit it, yes I do. But well, life always happens.

I just can't think of a better gift to give my mom

Yeah, I do know she deserves the best and it might be confusing to pick out a perfect gift. However, just do what you can afford to do. I can give you some ideas

  • take her on a date
  • maybe buy a gift box that contains a lot of things
  • Buy a cake or a bag or a shoe or even a everything if you can afford it.
  • take her to a spa

You should be able to develop some ideas from these.

Yes, I am very much aware, lol. I guess you must think my ideas are weird, but the fun part is that she might have not experience these thinga before and it will be so amazing for her to. There is a shoe and bag for women of her age, and taking your mom on a date sounds super cute to me, you could even make it a night out with your family. I am also guessing the spa idea must be the weirdest, but well, their skin needs pampering too and their body needs proper massage and care.

You appreciate your mom so well. Even though it's been a while since you went to see her. That's beautiful.
For gifts, I'll suggest getting her a bag. I did get one for my mom and she loved it.

Your mum sounds amazing - and having lost my own just five years ago - I envy you the chance to celebrate. As a gift... how about a piece of writing from you, just for her, or another item you have handmade with all the love and care that can only come from you. As your mum, I'm sure nothing could be more precious to her. Good luck with your exams btw. E x

Outch, im sorry for your loss.

I think a hand made item will be good. I rarely give time to anything, how ever giving my time to make something for her by myself will be the best..

Thank you for wishing me success

You should start planning and preparing what to give your mom. At least you have some time before your exam day to think of something to give her. Happy birthday to her in advance.

Normally,I will always make time to see my mom.

Though the past experience are still here, it's only a factor to fuel my strength for better days.
