Hey! It's going to be Mother's day again. Have you planned something good for your Mama? If not, try even one of these tips.

Make Your Mama Proud

　　What special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.

　　What's Her Favorite?

　　Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.

　　The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.

　　The Memories

　　Our mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.

　　Be Her

　　What does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.

　　Treat a Queen

　　Your house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.

　　Make-Over Beauty

　　Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.

　　Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!

　　Have Some of Your Time

　　It's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.

　　Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?

Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?

The D-word., It’s most people’s worst fear, but , in a bittersweet way , it was my greatest joy, In divorce, you gain something and you   36   something.

I’m thirteen years old, and I know what it  37   like when parents split up, because mine did last fall,

My parents had been   38   for years, When my father started cheating my mom things went downhill, I   39    they would divorce instantly, I tried to picture my life after my parents    40 up living at my mom’s house during the week, and my father’s  house on the weekend, But my mom decided to be the bigger person and try to  41    it out, so that my sibings and I would know     42     it was like to have a family, Things didn’t get better,      43  

I would always strain to hear the quiet   44   they didn’t want me to hear, They weren’t getting along and they weren’t happy,

My father has never really been there for me, He was there physically but not emotionally, He yelled a lot and never really showed any  45    in going to my piano recitals or watching my dance performances,    46   we asked him to do and he had another    47  -a lie,. We just ignored it and went on with our lives as if nothing was the matter.

Then last summer, there was real   48     in paradise, My siblings and I want out to Los Angeles to pursue acting and while we were out there, my father   49   my mom again , and this time my brother, sister, and I all found out, We decided to stay in L.A and leave my father in Florida.

Our   50    resulted in divorce, We didn’t know if we were making the right   51   or not, My mom went back and forth,. She wanted what was best for her children, She asked me if I thought we should go back to Florida or stay in Los Angeles, I replied mom “There is nothing in Florida for us any more. Out here in L.A, we have so many   52    , that can come true, We shouldn’t let him abuse us any more. Finally , we are free.

The  53   was the best thing that had ever happened to me and the rest of my family. I now know that taking chances is the best thing to do. I accept that   54   doesn’t always, If , in your heart, you can feel something that is not right, then follow your heart. In the end it’s going to be your only true guide, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, your heart will never  55   you down.
