Mother's Day

Mother's day in my country is not on May 13. Although we are not Arabs and our calender is solar calender but Iranians celebrate mother's day according to Arabic month on Prophet Mohammad's daughter, Fatemeh's, birthday. As you may know Arabic months are shorter than Christian and solar months (about 28 days a month as far as I know) they are not stable. For example 25 years ago when I was born in May according to Arabic calender it was Ramadan while this year Ramadan is not May and is on August!
I hope I could explain how different Arabic calender is! I love Christian and solar calender the most.
This year Mother's Day according to Arabic calender was only one day before May 13!
In my country we call the day both Mother's and Women Day. This year I made a beautiful card for my mom and i printed one other and colored it like a kid! hehe. Then I put one card in the fridge and the other on microwave, put two stick notes into mom's English books as I know she is going to go to English class in the morning. Put an other stick note on the door and hung her gift from door all after we went to sleep to surprise her. She was so excited in the morning and I am so happy I could make her happy. Oh and I also put something on the fridge too. I don't know what do you say to it in English so I'll put a picture of it. It's written "Happy Mother's Day" on it into Farsi (Persian).
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mother's in the world. I hope I can someday be a mother too! Even if I can't be I will not stop loving kids. They are the miracles of our lives of course.


The thing on the fridge!
