Both my children are back in New Zealand. I got an email from my son (he's almost 22) and I rang my daughter (17) to be told she is in the process of making me a card and it's for Mothers' Day last year as well (when she didn't send me one 
). She also sent me a SMS wishing me a happy day and wondering why they don't have Daughters' Day! I told her every damn day is Daughters' Day 
I also called my mother in NZ, she seems to be coping ok after my father's death a couple of months ago. It is hard being far away from family on special days like these........

Ok I'm not a terrible daughter but a fool.....
I just rang my mum and said
Happy mothers day!
And there was a stunned silence....i thought she was mad i had left it this late.
Then she said,
"darling, I don't quite know what planet you're on today but its not mothers day"
Me "It is"
Mum (insistantly) NO, it isn't.
Me (feeling very foolish) But they said.....
Mumsounding exasperated) Who said what?
Me: The internet people. They said it was today.
Mum: Well it is in america.
(another awkward silence.)
Me: D'OH
Mum: You sent me a card, in march. For mothering sunday. It arrived late, but i overlooked that. You tried.
Me: Oh.
Then, happily, we fell about laughing. I am so silly sometimes.

I'm sure the shared laugh was a present she will always treasure.
