Britain’s version of Mother’s Day was on March 15, just a week ago. My British podcasts made reference to the past holiday and I freaked out. I learn this every few years.
No matter that it’s been almost 20 years since Mom died, I still panic in March if I think I’ve missed Mother’s Day.
It doesn’t help that the months March and May both start with “Ma” either.
Sure, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October. That’s as confusing, but missing Turkey Day isn’t the high crime that missing Mother’s Day is.
