Mother's Day Bites

I see all these ads and flowers, plants, cakes, jewelry, etc., and I just want to cry. Nothing like that is going to happen to me. My son is in Japan, or else somewhere on his ship. But even if he was here, he doesn't remember my birthday and it's two days before his! He is a good kid, but he is a guy. Hopefully, at some point in his life he'll get involved, if not married, and the significant other will remember all those dates. So I'll get something for my mother-in-law. I've got some ideas. I know I'm just being a whiney baby. It would just be nice to be remembered.
