I'm glad you are going to get yourself a bunny this year. Your mom would like that.I can relate to your situation as my mom died last year the day before Mothers Day. It was also the first year for ME actually being a mother which made it harder. Needless to say there was no celebration. My mom was also very thoughtful like yours. She liked to give gifts on holidays like easter - yes even after I was grown-up and married. And I know she would have gotten a gift for my first Mothers Day if she could have. It was very sad as I knew the end was very near so I didn't even go out and get her a gift. It has been almost a year now since she has been gone. I do feel like it has gotten a *little* easier though. I do still have lots of sad times, but I just look at my little girl and see Mom's eyes and I have to smile. I plan to carry on the same traditions my mom had with me with my daughter. And also make sure I talk about her often since she won't remember her Nanna. We will always miss our mothers, but I have so many wonderfull memories and am glad I will be able to share those with my daughter so she will know how special her Nanna was and how much she loved her. I made a promise to my mom that I would sing a song to my baby every morning like my mom did. It usually makes me smile, but sometimes I just cry through the whole song. I know you will think of your mom this easter and I'm sure she will be looking down and watching over you. She will be right there with you. I will be thinking of you this holiday and others will be too.
