I'm writing this article in China， far away from my home in the United States． You might wonder what I do to remember my mom on Mother's Day． Well， l certainly call her to say "Happy Mother's Day" and promise that I will visit home soon．
I still remember the first time I forget Mother's Day． When I finally figured it out， I asked， "Why does mom get a special holiday？ Why isn't there a Children's Day for us？"
My mom explained， in that way that only moms seem to be able to explain， "Because every day is Children's Day !"
I knew that I had messed up． I thought about all the time love my mom had given me． I thought about the food she had made， the toys she had bought and the long hours she had spent with me． There might not be a perfect mom， but there is mom's love， which can fix anything． After that day，for 364 days，I was looking forward to the next Mother's Day．
That was the first year l forgot Mother's Day． It was also the last year I forgot．
Are you struggling to consider what to do for your mom on Mother's Day？
