What mother's day is all about

I think a lot of people think Mother's Day is about telling your mother you love them. You should surely tell your mother you love her. But I think it's more about showing your mother (or wife) that you love her. It's a day for pampering, for telling your sweetheart or mom, "no, you're not going to cook dinner, or do the dishes" or whatever other chore needs to be done ... It's a day for a show - not even of grand proportions. Just a 'love' show throughout the whole day. Saying you love someone is easy. Showing you love someone takes effort. Thanks Andrea for making the angel food cake. Thanks Amy for making the cheesy potatoes and cleaning up. Thanks Brandy for cutting up strawberries and putting the glaze on the ham. Thanks Jason for doing all the little needful things to help. Thanks Parker kids for coming and for clearing all the food off the table. Thanks all for pitching in to create a nice day for me and grandma.
