Once again, it would be Mom's Birthday, in the old days celebrated with pralines and cream ice cream and a cake. My Mom enjoyed pralines and cream, but milk did her wrong, so she'd only eat it on special occasions. These days, Mom's Birthday is celebrated with trips to the cemetery and blog posts. I'd much prefer pralines and cream to the modern version. I don't think today seems at all weird any more, for first few years I would make a point of going to cemetery on this date and leave flowers. The day itself was one of those oh well type days. Now it is another day to celebrate living, but also to celebrate a remarkable woman and a loving mother.
