Taking Time to Honor Our Mothers

Mother's Day

Mothers are an important part of our lives, whether we are young children or we are fully grown. At Air Critical Care, our air ambulance company wants to take the time to honor our mothers, not only on Mother’s Day, but throughout the month of May.

Tips for Celebrating with Your Mother

Regardless of your age or that of your mother, spending time together can be a real treat. If you are trying to find something new and interesting to do this year, these options can be a good start.

  • Take Her Out – Many moms don’t get treated to a meal away from home often. If you are planning to take your mother out for dinner, choose a place that is special to the two of you or her favorite restaurant for a special treat.
  • Capture It on Film – Whether your mother is suffering from a chronic illness or she is perfectly healthy, it is important to remember the time you spend together. Consider creating videos together so you can look back after she is gone and remember her for who she was. You can even record her life story for future generations.
  • Share a Special Event – Find something you can enjoy doing together, such as cooking a meal, taking a walk, shopping or completing a favorite craft. Any time spent together is time you can treasure on Mother’s Day and beyond.

What If Your Mom Is No Longer with You?

Unfortunately, moms don’t live forever. As much as we love and need them, there comes a time when they pass away. However, this doesn’t mean you have to stop honoring your mother or celebrating Mother’s Day. If your mother is no longer around, consider the following options:

  • Remember the Past – Take some time to remember the great times you’ve had with your mom. Pull out the family photo album and reminisce over old pictures.
  • Write Her a Letter – She won’t be able to read it, but it can be therapeutic to write down your thoughts. Tell her how much you miss her and what you have been doing in your life.
  • Create a Memorial – Tap into your creativity and create a memorial for your mom. Use your words to write a poem or song. If you are artistic, make a sculpture or a photo collage.
  • Visit Her at the Cemetery – You can still spend some time feeling close to your mother on Mother’s Day. Visit the cemetery and bring a special flower arrangement just for her. Talk to her and remind her how much you love her.

Mother’s Day is a day set aside to honor our mothers and everything they do for us. Whether you can visit your mom or she is no longer with you, there are numerous things you can do to make the day special and show your love and respect for the woman who raised you.
