So, I heard today is Mother's day. Question and advice.

How to...how do you honor your mother? What should I do? I was thinking of getting flowers.

It's neither! I heard it from the other Moonblessed at the market today.

In my world, a mother is always highly revered and I've been taught by my elders to pay respects and thanks to my parents.

That would explain the lack of recognition.
I'm sure your mother would appreciate any gesture in her honor.

I wouldn't know how to honor mine, but flowers might be a good start.

I think so too.

My father recommends incense to go with the flowers as an offering. It's a tradition to light it up and then give prayer and thanks to the dead.

She may appreciate that.
Even if you are not in your world, your prayer will still reach her.

How long ago did she pass away?

Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Oh, when I was young, around when I was three. So I don't remember much other than her face, her warmth, and her kindness.

I am sorry you couldn't be with her longer,
but you are not alone.

Maybe I should do the same.
Does Mother's Day entail anything else?

Much gratitude.

Most of the advice given on this post is to give her gifts that she likes?
Like buy clothes, buy dinner, bring gifts,
just to name a few to show your appreciation.
