Special days

With Christmas and Valentines gone and now Mothers Day to look forward to I'm wondering how much more disappointment will be heaped upon me. Like most people I tend to take these special days with a pinch of salt however, deep inside, there's still a part of me that would like one of the members of my family to acknowledge my contribution in their lives. Is it too much to expect a card? A small gift? Even just what is asked for? When asked at Xmas what I wanted, I gave specific details. Shop. Size. Colour and pattern. Pink and floral. I got - too big, blue and checkered!
For Mothers Day I'll ask for flowers, but will probably get onions and you know what... I'll accept them with good grace.
