Re: Mother's Day Plans
^ agree with X2... I just don’t get ppl who look down upon a western tradition because it’s western.
You can have genuine and sincere affection towards your parents… throughout your life… but there is absolutely nothing wrong with dedicating one special day to show how much you appreciate everything they have done and continue to do for you. To simply discount mother’s day as a superficial gesture is being even more superficial because you're giving your rather generalized verdict without even knowing the intentions of the children celebrating the occasion and the nature of their relationships with their mothers.
Anyways coming back to the topic, what am I doing for mother’s day… I sent flowers and a card to her – hopefully they’ll reach her tomorrow. The next time I see her, I’ll take her out for dinner inshaAllah.
