Mother’s Day is an opportunity to appreciate one’s mom, and everyone has a different way of expressing gratitude.

“My mom does so much for me and my sisters and our family,” senior Makenna Rubinstein said. “We of course appreciate everything she does for us everyday, but I think she deserves an extra day for us to really reflect on how amazing she is and how much effort she puts into the family.”

Sophomore Alex Diamant normally allows her mom, Dea Diamant, to choose what activity to do on Mother’s Day.

“On Mother’s Day, my kids show their appreciation for me by indulging me in a few of my favorite things,” Dea Diamant said. “They bring me coffee and the newspaper in bed, listen to classical music and take as many family pictures until we get the perfect one. And of course I get nice cards with lovely messages that I read throughout the year.”

Although Dea Diamant enjoys the gifts her kids give her, her favorite thing about Mother’s Day and the best gift she could ask for is family time.

“My favorite part of Mother’s Day is that my family is together,” she said. “The best Mother’s Day gift to me would be having my mother and mother-in-law spend the day with me and my family.”
