Re: Remind HN: Today is Mother's Day, call your moms
#172When my mom remarried, her new husband started to manipulate her and isolate her from other relatives, trying to turn everyone against each other. The last time I met her, I was basically talking to two copies of him. I've already dealt with the fact that I will not get my mom back.

#173This is the first year when I can’t do that. Please go do it on my behalf, while it’s possible.
I lost mine 6 years ago. I regret not spending more time with her. I wasted time on the computer instead to get "work" done. Don't be like me.

Yes, it pre-dates the gift card (and gift) industry. I seem to recall being told it was to allow servants to go home to see their mothers. See how vaguely I framed that.
