Rant #1,903: Mother Was a Rolling Stone

Is Mother’s Day the holiest day of the year?

I think it probably is, because if you don't celebrate the right way, you are going to be Swiss cheese to those who you are supposed to be honoring that day.

So like I say every year, guys, do the right thing and do what you need to do to make the day special for your wife, your mom, and any other ladies who are so cherished on this day, and every day on the calendar.

Make them feel like they are special, because they really and truly are.

Take them out or get them some gift that is truly from the heart. Getting KFC, like I said in an Rant here earlier this week, is not an appropriate gift, although if you spice it up with something else, it could be a nice add-on if the person is into it.

Moms are special people. They carried us for nine months, and brought us into this world.

Sure, dads are also very, very important in this entire process, but moms are special, really special.

I am really lucky. My wife, my mom and my sister—who has three boys—will all be celebrating the day together, in one place, so we can handle the festivities all in one setting.

My daughter will be celebrating the day with her mother, and that is fine with me. I can’t really argue against it.

Mother’s Day in my family celebrates these special ladies, and I hope that the occasion is as fun in your family as it is in mine.

My birth made my mother an actual mother 60 years ago, so even though I was born in late April, you can say that I was a Mother’s Day baby.

My daughter was actually born even closer to Mother’s Day—in 1988, it was a quirky year, and the holiday was celebrated on May 8, but it is always celebrated the second Sunday of May—and her birthday--May 15--is often actually right on the occasion.

But whatever the case, let me wish all the mothers a happy Mother’s Day, and many, many more to all of them.

Have a nice weekend and have a nice holiday. I will speak to you again on Monday.
