Normally I don’t forget any special day in my life, especially if the day is related to my mom; but last year, it escaped my memory and just a day before Mother’s Day, it struck that it was my mom’s day. OMG!!! Thanks to that local gift shop owner who helped me. And thanks to Lily for suggesting these wonderful last minute mothers day gifts.
