On the Verge of Mother's Day

Word to "THE VERGE!" This one goes out to the Mama, the Baby's Mamas and The Mama's Mama, Moms and so fourth...

As we approach Mother's Day I want to give a shout out to all the beautiful Black Mothers and Mothers in general.  Without y'all, there'd be no Black people period to help snowball and multiply this thing we call "Black Love."

So I did my part to acknowledge my Moms, my son's Mother and I'm giving a shout out to my Grandma' who looking down on "The Verge" from up high...

This year, I did things differently, I didn't wait until the last minute to get my gifts... I actually took my time to look through a healthy selection of cards early in the week.  I got some good ones too.  Usually, I like them blank because I'm the type that rather writes my own words...  But you can always add a note with your own words... But let me give you some real game.  Peep:

1. Cut Flowers vs. Potted Flowers: I know cut flowers are the traditional gift, but skip that.  I'm saying if you get a handful of flowers, they ain't gonna do nathan but whittle and die slowly.  That's not what you want to represent your love with. So buy her a live plant or potted flowers.  Let that reflect the her life and the constant growth of your appreciation.

And let's say you and your child's mama don't get along too well... Just make the child the ambassador.  Send him/her with the gift, card, money etc..  This not only gets you off the hook but it teaches the child to honor that day as well (that's DPizM in action there).

In sum, I want all mothers to soak it all in and know that "dpm" aka "The Blackest Black Man Ever" loves you.

May "The Verge" be with you...

Well, thank you so very much!

I love to grow flowers and vegetables and you would think that my husband and kids would get a clue and buy me plants over cut flowers. Oh well, I guess it's the thought that counts.

I'm going to spread the word regarding that olive branch with the baby mama. That's a great idea!
