Celebration

the word 'MAMA' stands beside a delicate pink rose

I chose Mother’s Day topic.

For many North Americans, Mother's Day holds special meaning, celebrating it as a way to strengthen family bonds and simply say, "We see you, we appreciate you, and we love you so much."

Our celebrations are centered around mom feeling happy and relaxed, and usually involve me, my siblings, and my dad, together as a family. Sharing food, chatting, laughing, and looking through old photos.

I was still working on Mother's Day this year, and the restaurant was busier than usual. When we got off work, I prepared a table of delicious food to thank everyone for celebrating Mother's Day together. I also get handmade cards and warm greetings from the children. The work was hard, but I was very happy and grateful that our family was together.
